Degrees Diploma Associate’s Degree High School– 4 years Community College – 2 years (Optional) Associate’s Degree Ahora repasemos los títulos que el estudiante obtiene de cada institución educativa en los Estados Unidos. Comenzando con la preparatoria, al graduarse, su hijo/a recibirá un diploma de preparatoria. Si el estudiante decide ir al colegio comunitario, ahí recibirá un título de asociado. Recuerde que este paso es opcional y todo depende de las circumstancias y metas de cada estudiante. Este paso será explicado con más detalle. El estudiante puede seguir directamente a una universidad de cuatro años al graduarse de la preparatoria. El primer título que un estudiante recibe de la universidad es una Licenciatura. University –4 years Bachelor’s Degree (Bachelor’s of Science or Bachelor’s of Arts)

Degrees after the B.A./B.S. Master’s Degree University-2 years or more Doctorate Degrees-Ph.D, Ed.D, M.D. Professional Degrees-Law Degree University –3 years or more Pero la educación no termina ahí. El estudiante puede optar por seguir adelante. Al hacer esto, su hijo/a puede obtener una Maestría, un Doctorado u otro título profesional.

4 Systems of Higher Education University of California (UC) California State University (CSU) California Community Colleges (CCC) Hablemos sobre las 4 opciones para educación superior. En el estado de California existen 4 sistemas de educación superior: (para que la audiencia participe, preguntar ejemplos de cada sistema en tu comunidad): Universidades de California (dar ejemplos) Universidades Estatales (dar ejemplos) Colegios comunitarios (dar ejemplos) Colegios y universidades privadas (dar ejemplos) Independent and Private Colleges/Universities

Options Con tantas opciones, ¿Cuál es el camino a seguir para asistir a la universidad? Una buena preparación académica durante los años escolares en la preparatoria es el paso número uno para asistir a la universidad. Recuerden que cursos requeridos y excelentes calificaciones determinan la elegibilidad de los estudiantes para ser admitidos a la universidad. Al graduarse de la preparatoria, el estudiante puede ir directamente a estas instituciones: Colegio comunitario Universidades Estatales de California Universidades de California (con la excepción de UC San Francisco) Universidades privadas siempre y cuando el estudiante sea elegible, siga el proces de aplicación y sea aceptado/a. Cada sistema ofrece diferentes títulos y oportunidades, hay que estar consciente de estas diferencias. Más adelante discutiremos cada sistema con detalle. High School

Tiered System High School Otro camino a seguir después de la preparatoria es el colegio comunitario. Según las metas del estudiante, este puede continuar su educación al transefirse a uno de los siguientes sistemas: CSU, UC y escuelas privadas, siempre y cuando el estudiante cumpla con los requisitos de admición. Estos requisitos no van a ser los mismos si el estudiante fuese directamente de la preparatoria a la Universidad. Si se opta por este camino, es importante que el estudiante siga un plan de estudio. Tal plan de estudio se puede obtener con la ayuda de un consejero académico en el colegio comunitario. High School

Community College (CCC) 109 Community Colleges in CA Prepares students to transfer to a 4 year institution Associate’s degree Offers technical training in specific occupations (bookkeeping, culinary arts) Most are nonresidential; students live off-campus Students can attend part-time or full-time To enroll, students have to be 18 + or have a High School Diploma Los colegios comunitarios están cerca de casa y son de bajo costo. Por lo regular, la estadia de un estudiante en un colegio comunitario es de 2 a 3 años. Un estudiante matriculado en el colegio comunitario puede obetner lo siguiente: -preparación para transferirse a una institución de cuatro años -un título de asociado -capacitación vocacional para desarrollo profesional Si el estudiante decide transferirse, el currículo que estudie tiene que ser currículo de materias transferibles. Por ejemplo, si estuvo estudiando una carrera corta, lo más probable es que tales cursos no le cuenten para poder transferirse a una universidad de cuatro años.

California State University (CSU) 23 California State Universities B.A./B.S. and Master’s degrees Accepts high school Seniors and Community College transfers Provides broad liberal education and prepares students for professional goals Entonces, ¿Qué ofrece el sistema de las Universidades Estatales de California (CSU)? (mirar puntos en el resumén)

University of California (UC) 10 University of California Campuses-Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco (Medical and Graduate School Only), Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz B.A./B.S., J.D., M.D. and only public system in California that can grant the Ph.D Accepts High School Seniors and Community College Transfers Mission of the UC: Research & Teaching Professional Schools-Law, Medicine, Education, Engineering, Journalism, Social Welfare Bueno, ¿ y qué ofrece el sistema de las Universidades de California (UC)? Hay 9 planteles, un décimo plantel por inagurarse en el año 2004. La Universidad de California es un sistema más competitivo, ya que solo acepta al 12.5% de los mejores estudiantes de las preparatorias de California Al igual que el sistema de CSU, la Universidad de California no ofrece títulos de asociado, y ofrece licenciaturas y maestrías. Sin embargo, la Universidad de California ofrece doctorados y títulos profesionales, los cuales no son proporcionados en sistema de las Universidades Estatales de California.

Private Universities/Colleges 77 Private Universities/Colleges in CA Vary in size, prestige, and cost Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate’s, and Professional degrees Accepts high school graduates and Community College Transfers Professional Schools-Law, Medicine, Education, Engineering, Journalism, Social Welfare Pasemos a las universidades privadas. Como pueden ver, existen un gran número de colegios y universidades privadas. Estos 112 planteles no pertenecen a un sistema común. Esto significa que cada plantel puede variar en los requisitos de admisión. Al igual que CSU y UC, hay dos maneras de llegar a una universidad privada 1) Después de terminar la preparatoria, o 2) terminar la preparatoria, ir al colegio comunitario y transferirse a una universidad privada.

Review of Options High School La opción número dos es de usar el colegio comunitario como un puente para después terminar su título, o títulos, en una universidad de cuatro años.l Las razones para asistir a un colegio comunitario van a ser diferentes dependiendo en cada estudiante. Si se opta por este camino, es importante que el estudiante siga un plan de estudio, el cual se puede obtener con la ayuda de un consejero académico en el colegio comunitario High School

How to start preparing now for college READ, READ, READ - Good readers make good thinkers and good writers. “The more you read, the more you know.” Promote good study habits. Turn off the TV. Set aside a homework time and a quiet study space. Meet with your teachers to learn about your performance. Tell the teachers that you have high expectations for your high school experience. We appreciate this attitude!

How to start preparing now for college Learn the college-preparatory course requirements: Push to get into these courses in high school Push to get into honors and AP courses in high school, if available What you do outside of class matters: Sports, Clubs, Work, Church, Honor Societies, etc. Take the PSAT by the 9th or 10th grade It’s good practice for the SAT!

How to start preparing now for college Visit college campuses! Find colleges in your area and schedule a tour. Make a college visit part of your vacation. Ask your counselor if your school is planning a field trip to a college you’re interested in. Check out college websites, many have virtual tours.

Factors to consider when choosing a college. Size - What is the total student population? How big are the typical freshman classes? Location - How far is the college from home? Is it in a rural, urban, suburban setting? What is the area surrounding the campus like? People - Who are the students and where do they come from? Academics- What majors are available? Who teaches the courses? What is the academic reputation of the college? Social Opportunities: What clubs and teams are available? Are there fraternities and sororities? Cost : What is the total cost of attendance, including tuition, room and board, books? What kind of financial aid is available?
