If  you want a masters in education, the concentration offerings are probably going to be in education specialties (such as administration, curriculum and instruction, reading, etc.) rather than in social studies.  If you want to concentrate on those areas, you may need to look for a masters program in history, political science, etc.  Unfortunately, most masters programs in those areas are going to be during the day and in person.  Most of the online masters programs available are designed for professional fields (such as education).  I don't know of any online masters in any of the liberal arts areas.  \nThere are a few online masters programs in secondary education where you would be allowed to work in your subject area while developing further pedagogical expertise.  One at California University of Pennsylvania provides an online masters in secondary education focused around national board certification.  (in the interest of full disclosure- I do know colleagues there).

Depends on where you want to live.\n\nCalifornia: -- Try Cal Poly SLO (for Engineering and Architecture), CSU Chico for Engineering, UC Davis for Engineering.\n\nSchools like MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley have great graduate programs but worthless undergrad degrees.

Try http://www.assist.org Last I knew, the site could give you information about transferring to UC or CSU by major, and tell you which schools have transfer agreements, among other things. It's very useful!

In the east, Columbia University, Brandeis University, Hunter College (CUNY), Smith College, and Bryn Mawr have the most highly ranked Master's level programs in Social Work.  (Brandeis' program is in Social Policy, which means it's the best for administration-directed folks.)\n\nBelow is a link to a ranking of MSW programs nationwide.  This is the Gourman Report ranking, published by the Princeton Review.  Make sure to read the information about the Gourman Report, too.  There's a link to this info on the page below.\n\nBest wishes!

I've heard UCLA has a good program; one of the Marine Science Academy teachers at my old school took a program there. But also UC Santa Barbara, since it has the additional benefit of being right next to a beach. Also UC San Diego, I think.

I would say both PCC and Santa Monica City are good..but i attended East Los Angeles College and I liked it alot.  Many people i went to school at ELAC got accepted to UCLA etc.  Mount Sac should be good too.  Good luck!

Check out San Jose State University, (my Alma Mater). You'll find everything you need there in the Bay area. Its a great school!

There are some really fine universities in California, and many of them have foreign students. Look at University of California Los Angeles, University of California Berkeley, and Stanford. Those are probably the three best, but "best" really depends on what you intend to major in. For example - Engineering, go to UC Berkeley. Film? UCLA. Business? Stanford.

The UCs generally won't take anyone with a 3.4.  Maybe with a 3.8 or 9 if you have the right combo of other ingredients: lots of community activity, awards, high SAT score, and of course, if you are in the right ethnic group.  They are not supposed to show favoritism to certain races, but they do.\n\nYour best bet would be a state university.  With the majors you are considering, you can get a quality education just about anywhere.  They consider SAT scores, but they take a more holistic approach to the application process.  Get catalogs of the universities you'd be interested in attending.  If you plan to live on campus, choose a place you've always wanted to live.  Squeeze every drop out of your college experience!\n\nSome fun places to live while attending college: CSU Santa Barbara, CSU San Luis Obispo (both beach communities) and CSU San Jose.\n\nOther CSUs with good academic reputations: CSU San Diego, CSU Fullerton and CSU Long Beach (for some majors).\n\nIf you are a senior this year, you shouldk be getting your applications off for fall of 2007 like, yesterday.  Check with your school counselor for more info on the time line, and he/she should have a list of the CA State Universities with addresses and phone numbers to the admission's offices.  Good luck!

While I do not have experience with the masters programs, I have spent a significant amount of time as a student at the Devry in Fremont, CA.  I would have to say that as a school, they are sub-par at best.  It is absolutely NOT worth the money.  Most of my teachers barely spoke English, they let in just about anybody who has the money (or meets meager finance requirements) which creates an extremely undesirable environment in terms of fellow students.  The enrollment officers fed me a pack of lies about every aspect of the school, in particular the transfer of my credits.  If you are expecting any kind of respectable, scholarly institution, you are barking up the wrong tree, believe me.

I personally don't know but life the previous individual mention it is much harder to get to UCLA than to Riverside (but do your damnest to get to UCLA remember pursuit your dream).  Also, check California colleges and university that can help your criteria out.  Also, are you from California and if not then it may cost you more if you don't live in Cali (but you know that already).  Great website is Dogpile which is a megasite.  Hope this helps you out and aloha.
