College searching

[barefeetonholyground]

i know Florida Christian college does co-ops with a local state school for a nursing degree, i am pretty sure too that Ozark Christian college does, i know a few students that have gone or are going to both and are doing a nursing degree.

Go to: http://www.christiancollegementor.com/Select/MatchAsst/default.asp

This is a part of Christian College Mentor. Enter your major and other information and you'll get a list of CHristian colleges that offer what you are looking at. Since you are initerested in 2 programs, search twice and see what colleges come up on both.

Keep in mind, that if you really want to counsel people, you are going to need a Masters degree. An undergraduate degree in counseling is, frankly, worthless. Depending upon which state you are in, you will need a MA in counseling or a MSW.
If you'd like to be a nurse with good couseling skills, a double major or a minor would be of help.

Also, think about nurse practitioner. It's like a master degree in nursiing. NPs have far more freedom and flexibility than PAs do. Keep that in mind as you plan.

Let me know what you find!

i was just browsing the website, it is good, but nothing beats a phone call to schools, neither of the two schools that i listed where found there. just a heads up, you may want to E-mail the schools.

i would take a recommendation over a referral anyday.

Does anyone know of a good Christian school to study religion? I've been searching, but none of the one's I've looked at look good for me. I wont be going to a college for about a year because I am joining Youth With A Mission and going to Discipleship Training School in April...But i want to think about it now.

Neither of these colleges offeres a degree in nursing. A quick look at their web site and I did not see a mention of a co-op program eitehr, but I may have missed it.

There are dozens of good Christian colleges that offer degrees in Bible and ministry related areas. Can you provide a little more information?

Kind of degree you are seeking?

denominational/theological perspective?

plans after your graduate?

geography?

How do you define "good"?

activities or organizations?

Narrow the field down a little... and give Christian College Mentor a try.

Bliz many of them are not listed on the school webpages, i just know students who have recieved and done co-ops at both, that is hwy i would recommend talking with any college before deciding to go there

FYI - there are a growing number of people in the news business who encourage those interested in journalism NOT to major in journalism.

Their argument is that journalism does not have you learning about something in depth other than journalism. Learning to write in the journalistic style is not all that difficult and does not require all that much practice. Learning to think, reason, research, organize etc. are far more vital skills and you will have more oppportunity to learn them in actual study about something - ANYTHING! Obviously writing for college or community publications is helpful, but you can do that with any major.

Just so you can give that some thought... Obviously teachers and professors of journalism think differently, but I have read more than one newspaper editor saying that they simply will not hire J. majors.

That's why I'm taking on two other majors.
