2006-03-07T23:34:00.000-07:00

As you may or may not have noticed, the Flash-based search menu has been revoked on the site. As stated in a previous post, the menu had some "bugs" that were making it difficult to do a proper school search. So in the mean-time we have taken it back down and replaced it with the previous search menu. Hopefully the new menu will be back up again soon.

Problems with new Flash Search menu

2006-03-01T00:20:00.000-07:00

Our primary goal is to help make it even easier for users to find the right school for them. So be sure to keep checking in next week to see the launch of the new design.

2006-02-15T21:50:00.000-07:00

The engineers have finished testing and deploying the optimized search features on the DegreeMe.org website (Directory of accredited schools). The optimizations have dramatically reduced the search time required to find a school by zip code or keyword.

Please be sure to take a look at the new directory of accredited schools and experience the optimized searching.

Optimized School Search by Zip Code

2006-01-18T09:38:00.000-07:00

The problems with slow zip code searching has now been resolved due to the recent server and development upgrades. The new zip code search is significantly faster than the previous searches. Please note that these recent upgrades currently only affect our primary search form. If you are using the "Quick Search" pages to find a school by zip code then you may still experience a slow-down. Our developers are currently working on optimizing the "Quick Searches" as well.

Optimized School Zip Search

2006-01-17T15:33:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend our technical staff performed server upgrades that will allow for much faster zip code searching in the near future. Due to the popularity of our site and the traffic that we have been seeing, our zip code search performance has degraded considerably over the last several months. These new upgrades will dramatically increase the performance of our search features. Please note that while the server upgrades have taken place, there is still some development necessary before the optimized searching will be noticeable. We expect to release the new school search by the end of this week. Until then, we apologize for the slow-down in the searching and appreciate your patience as this is fixed.

Let the Schools Come to You!

2006-01-12T00:51:00.000-07:00

As part of DegreeMe's new Search Service a service form has been added to the school search on the main website. If no schools match the criteria that is entered, then a form will be displayed that gives the student the option of submitting their information to let a DegreeMe Student Representative do the search for them. This saves the student time as well as allows a representative familiar with the DegreeMe schools to do the search for them. The hope is that this will provide the student with more relevant schools to choose from.

Find Accredited Degrees, Accredited Schools, Accredited Colleges

2006-01-11T01:15:00.000-07:00

Now it is easier than ever to find an accredited school, college, or university! DegreeMe has just released our newest web portal that allows students to simply sumbit their information so that a DegreeMe student account representative can perform the school search for them. It doesn't get much easier than this! After filling out a brief questionnaire the student simply waits for 1-2 business days while their personal account representative searches from all of the DegreeMe schools, colleges, online degrees, and more. Once the search is complete, the student is then sent a complete list of all of the schools or degree programs that match what that person was looking for. It truly is the easiest method for finding the right degree. So take a look at the new DegreeMe Search Service!

Narrowing down the Program and Degree Search

2006-01-10T00:47:00.000-07:00

DegreeMe currently offers hundreds of different degree, diploma, or training programs through our easy-to-use school search site. We also offer a more customary school search and degree search through our .org site.

While having a wide array of degrees to choose from is a good thing, it also can become overwhelming to our users. It is hard to know which programs to search for and which ones would best suite the individual's needs. In an effort to constantly improve our offerings, the DegreeMe creative team is currently working on a new and improved method for narrowing down your degree or diploma of choice. While the same great programs will still be available, this new searching methodology will help to narrow the results in a more understandable way.

This new search feature is scheduled for release by the end of February. Please be sure to check back at that time to see the site's improvements. If the improved searching is released prior to that date then a news article will be released informing the public of the change.

Planned Upgrades for School Search and Degree Search

2006-01-08T10:26:00.000-07:00

In an effort to improve the performance of our School Search and Degree Search we will be performing major server upgrades and enhancements over the next several weeks. Although our technical team will be taking all measures to avoid any downtime, you may notice a slight decrease in performance while our primary servers are being upgraded. Once the upgrade is complete, you will notice a significant increase in the performance of our search features particularly with the keyword search and the zip code search features.

If you are considering a career in the automotive industry, then consider this. There is a immediate and real shortage of auto and motorcycle mechanics now and into the future. This shortage means greater pay and opportunities in an exciting growth industry.

The mechanical and design prowess highlighted in such shows as American Chopper, Monster Garage and Overhaulin brings hope in a new generation of inspired and creative automotive and motorcycle technicians. The problem is they are not finding their way into the industry fast enough to keep up with demand. According to Alfred L Gaspar, president and CEO of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA). "For every 10 technicians who retire or change careers each year, only two to three new technicians enter the work force."

There are also programs specific to auto manufacturers such as Ford FACT and Toyota TPAT programs as well as courses for Auto Repair technician, Auto mechanics, Automotive Technologies, Small Engine Repair, Automotive Engineering and Diagnostician.

2005-07-09T09:21:00.000-06:00

Everyone wears clothes, right? At least most of the time. And most people like to look good in the clothes they wear. From Wal-Mart to Bloomingdale's, we all regularly come in touch with the fashion industry.

If you're looking to build a career in fashion, get ready for some competition. Being creative is important, but it's not enough - you've got to know the business as well. Because it's so fiercely competitive, it makes sense to give yourself the advantage of a formal education. A fashion design degree, a fashion marketing degree, or a visual merchandising degree can all lead to a great career in the world of fashion.

As a fashion designer, you'll need to learn how to nurture the part of you that's innovative and creative, and find ways to cultivate your conceptual skills. In addition, there are a lot of technical skills that are essential for every fashion designer. These include knowledge of computerized pattern-making technology, flat pattern drafting, sewing, draping, and other abilities. You'll also need to learn how the fashion industry works, and the best way to make a name for yourself in this fast-paced, extremely competitive business. You'll find that as your technical and business knowledge grows, you'll gain the ability to fully unleash the creativity inside of you, and you'll be well on your way to a fashion design career.

On the marketing side, a degree in fashion marketing will develop your business skills more fully. You'll become familiar with buying and merchandising practices, explore development and implementation of sales strategies, and learn how to analyze costs and control inventory. Fashion marketing offers a host of options for your career - sales consultation, coordinating runway shows, fashion buying, manufacturer representation, and much more.

A visual merchandising degree takes you even deeper into the retail side of fashion marketing. You'll learn how to draw shoppers into a store and keep them there. You'll become familiar with buying habits, and how to use those habits to your advantage. You'll cover visual presentation, design techniques, use of color and accessories, display and merchandise placement, signage, and more. In short, you'll become a retailer's best friend, and prepare yourself for an exciting career.

Both campus and online fashion design & merchandising degree programs will help you build a portfolio that will qualify you for positions in your fashion-related field of choice.

Paralegal / Legal Assistant

2005-06-29T23:36:00.000-06:00

While lawyers assume ultimate responsibility for legal work, they often delegate many of their tasks to paralegals. In fact, paralegals–also called legal assistants–continue to assume a growing range of tasks in the Nation's legal offices on private, corporate, Federal, and State levels.

A legal assistant may perform any function delegated by an attorney, including but not limited to the following:

Conduct client interviews and maintain general contact with the client, so long as the client is aware of the status and function of the legal assistant, and the legal assistant works under the supervision of the attorney.
Locate and interview witnesses.
Conduct investigations and statistical and documentary research.
Conduct legal research.
Draft legal documents, correspondence and pleadings.
Summarize depositions, interrogatories and testimony.
Attend executions of wills, real estate closings, depositions, court or administrative hearings and trials with the attorney.
Author and sign correspondence provided the legal assistant status is clearly indicated and the correspondence does not contain independent legal opinions or legal advice.

Professionally, a paralegal's time for substantive legal work (as opposed to clerical or administrative work) is billed to clients much the same way as an attorney's time, but at a lower hourly rate.

Paralegal education programs are offered in many formats and lengths, including onsite and online paralegal courses. Various kinds of public and private institutions offer paralegal education, including community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, business colleges and proprietary institutions. These various institutions make it possible for persons with diverse backgrounds to enter the profession. The most common types of programs are Associate Degree Programs, Bachelor Degree Programs, Certificate Programs and Master's Degree Programs.

The legal assistant profession is projected to grow by 33% by 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Office of Employment Projections. Compared with other occupations, this is an above average growth rate.

Private law firms are the largest employers of paralegals, but a growing number of other organizations are beginning and continuing to hire them. These organizations include corporate legal departments, insurance companies, real estate and title insurance firms, and banks.

Nurses Make a Difference in the Lives of Others

2005-06-27T23:45:00.000-06:00

Medical Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system. Caring for the sick is only one aspect of what a nurse does.

Today's registered nurses (R.N.s) work to promote health; prevent disease; help patients and their families cope with illness, emergencies and long-term disease; and save lives. Nurses relate to people of all backgrounds and cultures. They act as advocates and health educators for patients, families, and communities.

Nurses have the opportunity to do "good" in the world everyday. Many exciting and rewarding opportunities exist in nursing. Schools offer a varity of medical nursing degrees and certifications including some online coarses.

With over 100,000 vacant positions and a ever-growing need for healthcare workers, the career outlook is excellent for the medical nursing field. Did you know that well paying jobs for Registered Nurses are available in almost every city in America? Did you know that by the year 2020, there will be an estimated shortage of 800,000 nurses? With the world population living longer and needing more care, the healthcare field is one of the best places to get a job, and will likely stay that way for many years to come.

Nursing is a lot of fun. Being able to get along with people and good communication skills are important qualities for life. Most nurses will tell you that they have made life-long friends while working as a nurse. That's because nurses work as a team. They help each other and they teach one another new skills. There are abundant opportunities to meet wonderful people who want to make a difference in the world. So, is nursing for you?

An Arts Education - Infinite Possibilities

2005-06-27T12:42:00.000-06:00

There are a lot of options out there when it comes to getting educated in the arts. From degrees in basic print and web-based graphic design, to multimedia and computer animation, to visual effects and motion graphics and even culinary arts, the variety of arts-related college programs is almost endless.

If you tend to enjoy expressing yourself creatively through the arts, you could find a bright future waiting for you after getting an arts education. Careers in creative fields like marketing, fashion design, advertising, interior design, illustration, industrial design, video production, computer animation, interactive multimedia and web design, etc., will give you opportunities to break visual and conceptual boundaries. These careers are fast-paced and fun, and as you move from one arts-related project to another, you'll rarely find yourself bored.

If solving design problems excites you, your arts education can give you the ability to design logos, magazine print ads, innovative new products, bold new fashion trends, or engaging interiors. There are plenty of well-established schools with faculty and programs that will inspire you to become your creative best, and build a portfolio that will get you meaningful employment as a graphic, product, fashion, or interior designer.

With the ever-increasing emphasis on digital media, there are many opportunities to find employment at the cutting-edge of computer graphics development. Even though it's most often digital, media arts involves movement and life, creating and capturing images that move people, using sound and imagery to tell a story. All this incredible technology gives ever-expanding abilities to even fledgling artists, and a career as a director, producer, recording engineer, photographer or cinematographer, computer graphics animator, interactive media designer, or video game designer is more attainable than ever before. And the internet provides an amazing outlet for web designers and media artists to get their work seen by people all around the world.

And even though it's probably an advantage to have a natural creative ability, there are plenty of arts degrees in which more technically-minded people can find great satisfaction, principally involving digital media production as mentioned above. Many colleges and universities now offer multimedia degrees that give some artistic instruction but their overall focus is more technical. These programs integrate graphics, text animation, video and audio digital materials to entertain, educate, and communicate ideas through meaningful human interaction.

Don't forget that as art becomes more digitized, so too do the art classrooms. Many programs offer online art classes in many of the areas listed above.
