Accelerated Master's Program Q&A | The University of Alabama
PSA for those who are thinking about getting a Master's during or right after a bachelor's: I work in HR at a Fortune 50 company. If you are an undergrad or recent grad, I would not advise getting your master's degree right away for the following reasons:
1. The course work is a masters program will be more impactful when you have real world experience under your belt.
2. You won't get a salary bump or be eligible for better jobs right after getting your master's because when we recruit candidates we're primarily concerned with real world experience, not degrees or certifications. In fact, if you have a masters right out of undergrad it may HURT your chances of getting a job because you don't have the experience to back it up.
3. If you get a job at a company and work for a few years, many will PAY for your master's degree!
4. After getting into the workforce, you may find the field you got your master's in isn't for you. Try to get experience (we're talking 5+ years before getting a master's).
With all this being said, if you still want to get a master's while in undergrad, go for it! This is just my perspective but I hope this helps give you an insight into what talent acquisition professionals are thinking. Also, this is in NO WAY a criticism of Gracie. I give her ALL THE CREDIT for chasing her dreams and doing it her way! ❤️
This is so interesting. In Denmark, nobody will hire you if you don't have a masters!
This doesn't really apply to STEM majors as it is more common to go directly into grad school after finishig your bachelors and will definately NOT hurt your chances of employment.
@@Carlos-qd4dq i was about to respond that it is probably different according to the field. Of course, grad school for science fields is going to be longer than most business related programs I have heard of. I did grad school in chemistry right after undergrad; I don't know if I would have been able to get myself back into the school mode had I started working first. I did not have research experience beforehand (totally different type of advice coming from that) but even though I kind of changed my track during grad school, my master's degree got me a bump in pay at my first job. It is very interesting to hear from the hiring world in business though.
Here in England you get your bachelors in 3 years and then a masters in a 4th year as standard! It’s so interesting how things vary around the world! Put yourself first always, you’re the most important person❤️
3 undergrad and 3 grad classes all at once is a ton
5 classes in an undergrad semester would already be a lot
Your feelings make total sense
You’re almost there for this semester
Honestly, I can agree with being overworked. I am in an osteopathic medicine program and the long hours are rough. All my friends are enjoying their lives while I am stuck studying all day, everyday. However, I know that it will all be worth it in the end. Best of luck to you, Gracie! You got this!
I've been waiting for this one... TURN IT UP !!
I am not from the US and here, a bachelor degree is done on 5 years. I had to finish mine BA before I could get into an MBA which was 30 months. Getting into an MBA program is hard and the first requirement here is to have a previous degree (you have to present your diploma). Did all those years while working full time, regular jobs because like you, I didn’t want to be another graduate without any work experience (another requirement for the master’s program). Keep it up, I can tell you that at the end it will all be worth it!
So proud of you! You have been working so hard and I am glad you take time out for yourself to keep yourself sane!
Gracie, you should be extremely proud of yourself. I know that I am so extremely proud of you!!! ❤️
Not gonna lie, this is how I am feeling with Virtual Learning. I only have 2 classes this term (which is 9 weeks, but as a senior, I only have 8 weeks, now 7 1/2), but i have one class i was supposed to take last year, but I was in IB DP (but due to covid, the program got cut mainly due to budgeting), but all my IB Classes took my entire schdule, so I am taking it this year so I can graduate. I feel like my 2 classes are going to go quicker than the past 3 terms. I feel like my assignments pile up quick. I get your struggles as a High School Senior, Senioritous has picked up, but also I am so close to May and am so close to graduation.
No joke I made a daisy chain craft over my spring break and its making my spirit and motvation each day so much better.
Omg I tried online for a semester and i personally really felt overwhelmed and like I wasn’t actually learning the information. I switched back to online which benefited me.
Love all your videos! I’ve been super stressed with work this week and I enjoy putting on your TH-cam channel and watching old videos. Taking time for yourself is so important. I plan little trips here and there with friends and it really does help.
I am blown away by how much you are fitting in. I know you will complete and be glad you did.
There are going to be tough times but the sun will always shine and God has you in his hand.
DANG GIRL!!! Your awesome . Girl, take it easy somedays. I’m so happy for you and enjoy your SUMMER VACATION! 💕
This is such an informative video, thank you for this! We’re proud of you & keep fighting and praying!!! 💖
You posting on my birthday is the best thing ever😊
so proud of your hard work, Gracie!!!
I'm loving this. Also, someone that was doing 2 Grad classes as an undergrad it was difficult. I also am doing Grad school Fall 2022 hopefully...which I'm nervous about because it's been 10 YEARS to 11 YEARS since I've been in school.
Undergrad Vs grad classes are totally different in New Zealand too. I graduated with undergrad but had grad classes in my final year (3rd year papers cotaught with 4th year honours classes). The difference was how the assignments were graded and done. The 4th year assignment was more in-depth etc.
Oh my goshhhh, I love you. You make me happy. I love supporting you, and will keep updated with your future videos. Hugs!
You’re such a champion Gracie! Thank you for sharing and being real and honest, you can do this and The Lord is so proud of you!
Kind of in the same boat as you (graduating in 3.5 years with my Bachelors & Masters) except I applied to grad school after graduating undergrad in 2 years. And now I'm in my Masters program. I totally feel being stressed out but I know we all can do it! Good luck Gracie!
You are killing it !!! Definitely feeling the burnout !! Almost through the semester though !
Girl you got this!!! Go Get it!
17 credits? I’m really confused in Germany it’s common to take 30 per semester to graduate in time
Abweichend zum europäischen ECTS-Leistungspunkt dokumentiert der US-amerikanische und kanadische Leistungspunkt keine Arbeitszeit außerhalb des Unterrichts (z. B. Lern-, Vor- und Nachbearbeitungszeit). ( Wikipedia)
Ah, vielen Dank!
I don’t understand German so your question might’ve been answered, but in the US generally there tends to be quarter based and semester based schools which do hours differently, but I go to a semester school and 15 credits is normal for us (to graduate in four years) but some people go lower and some go higher.
I did 12 most of undergrad but my last year and a half was 15 credits because I did a Major in Human Services with a Minor in Legal Studies.
I have been so curious about this! Thanks for the video.
Great Work Gracie 👏❤️👏
So awesome!! Congrats’n
I’m getting my bachelors degree this May and am starting an Intensive 13-month long MAT so I will also have both degrees in 4 years!!! We can do this!!!
So it’s a class based pathway? No research component / thesis?
when you talked about the fact that you love what you study but at the same tie you feel like you could been doing other thinks or like holds you back sometimes I felt that so hard is like ssuper true because you love what you study but is like you feel the time is passing and its like bittersweet but girl be like hannah montana the best of both worlds haha or that's what i tell my self
can you make a video of the way you organize pleaaaase
Hey Gracie!
Gracie I believe in you. You are such a big influence on me academically at kings which can be tough, through my mindset and in my happiness. I love watching your videos. But I just want to say one thing. Philippians 4:13😘😘😘
Love the video!!
You’re really doing it!! So proud ❤️
Awesome
youre so talented and smart
What kind of job or career path are you planning to get with a BA & MA in Marketing, Gracie?
So are you going to get 2 degree certificates then?
Yes she’s going to! :)
Honestly props to you. I could never do anything like this. I can't even fathom the amount of time spent being so committed. Do u even have time to watch youtube videos for fun??? lol. anyway, I hope you don't burn out, and if you do, that's totally ok. Don't think you failed. Know that capitalism failed you. Have a good one!
❤️❤️❤️
When I get through this bachelor s degree I'm thinking about getting my masters degree
Gracie you should do collabs to grow your channel
Is 70 people the size of the AMP program or is that the number of people with a marketing major in the AMP program?
I think in the AMP program because she mentioned that she doesn’t know for certain because there are people in her grad classes that are not only AMP, but traditional 5th year/master’s students who already received their bachelors degree
gracie! where is your shirt from???
Amazing Video i enjoy very cool Love it you are so pretty beautiful stunning Queen Love. Congrats Love your content and Videos. I wait of this
