TAKING UP MASTER'S DEGREE

[imyourangel]

^For me kasi, since I'm in the academe, malaki talaga ang increase once you obtained a MA degree. More than twice the regular sahod per unit ng non-MA holder.

@sis emsgalon: Sabay tayong mag-apply. 

Sis, diba need pa ng 2 years work experience? Wala pa kasi ako 1 year sa work ko eh first job ko to.And may change of plans din ako kasi magboard exam muna this October then I'm applying for a scholarship in Obihiro University in Hokkaido, Japan.

Hi question lang po, I'm  a business ad graduate and currently working sa government. I am torn between taking MPA or MBA. Ano kaya mas okay? TIA.

^that will depend on:
1) the career track you want to pursue
2) the network you want to build

IMO,#2 may have more impact than #1.

In MBA, you will have classmates from different fields than business (ops people, engineers)
In MPA, you will have classmates from public service/non-profit work.

Your classmates may be your future colleagues or boss.

Hi sis.. thanks sa reply nakapagdecide na din ako na MBA na lang ang itake..

I'm a Nursing graduate and wasn't able to practice my profession ever since I graduated and passed the board examinations. I had the opportunity to work as a foreign language teacher in a progressive school and my superior encouraged me to take up a Master's degree in Education. After I left my job, I decided that I would like to have a second license and applied at UP Diliman to take up 18 units of Certification Program in Education (CPE) which I finished last semester. I mostly took up Master's courses so that if ever I wish to continue to Master's degree in Education, it would be credited. After taking CPE, I reviewed for the Licensure Examination for Teachers and had the exam last September 25, 2016. Now I'm at a loss on what to do because I currently have 3 options for my Master's:

1. Master of Arts in Nursing - at UP Open University if they will accept me although I'm not too optimistic since my grades during college weren't really something to be proud of. If not, then I'll probably try going back to one of my Alma Mater (UST) for their MAN if they accept those without hospital experience.
2. Master of Arts in Education - All of my professors in UP have been encouraging me to pursue a Master's degree because unlike back in my undergraduate days, I've had superior marks in my Master's courses. However, I don't know which specialization I want.
3. Diploma OR Master of Science in Biology - Since this is my majorship / specialization in the LET, I'd like to broaden my knowledge in case I were to teach in a public school.
4. Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology - My favorite subject even when I was in Nursing. Psychology has never failed to bored me.
5. Master of Arts in European Languages (German, French or Spanish) - Foreign languages have always been my passion and I'm 100% sure I'll finish this to the end if I were to take it up. I took up Spanish courses at Instituto Cervantes and I'm already in B level.

It's so difficult to decide when one has varied interests.

I am planning to take up MA Psychology in the following schools but I'm still confused and undecided. I hope you guys will help me on my inquiries. I am a fresh graduate, by the way.

UP Diliman
Near and affordable. But the requirements are difficult and it's UP, the curriculum and stats are kind of intimidating. My grades in undergrad aren't that competitive. In your honest opinion, is it worth the try? How hard is it to be in their program?

DLSU
Great program. Is it okay to enroll in any term? Or it is necessary that you start on the first term? I'm confused. And also, I asked someone and she said that the tuition fee is P1600 per unit. How much is the total included miscellaneous po sa isang term?

My other back ups are PLM and FEU but I haven't gathered infos about the programs/fees yet. 
Do you have any infos and suggestions from any of these? ANY info will help and be appreciated. Also, is it true that only few graduates bec. of the difficulty?

Ang hirap po magdecide ng isa lang pagpasahan, in case di pumasa sa isa. Pero kailangan kasi mahirap kumuha ng original TOR and endorsement letters. I'm still kind of lost about all these.

Thank you in advance po sa mga sasagot.

^hi regina,

for DLSU, you may enroll in any term. For MBA, tuition fee is around 3K per unit plus misc fee.
Tuition ko for 9 units is 38K
