I assume that is a speciality degree for selling parts and whatnot? Does it also teach you installation skills?

My friend went to Nashville Auto Diesel College. They have a small program that would help you run your own shop. Elementary, IMO, but their if the where buisnessmen, they would go to business school.

Any education is a good education.

Also, Josh -- got a 5 on the writing part. Decent score I suppose. I think they gave me a 5 because I do so poorly on the verbal, they couldn't see the same person completing both parts.

I am not sure to be honest. I think the GRE is more general math (trig, geometry, algebra) whereas the GMAT is more business focused. And I think you get a calculator.

I can only take 3 or 4 classes at a time. And me need 33 hours. @ 3 hours each = 11 semesters.

Indeed. I don't have the time to do the PhD (more like I don't want to make the commitment) But I can do the Master's. It is going to take over 2 years, but oh well.

No, its a GM ASEP program. Learn different sections of a automobile in 2years (get your feet wet) and have a mentor at a sponsering dealership for about a year. Work on cars and not sell parts. (I'd shoot maself). Then your guaranteed a job @ flatrate. I get a 2-yr degree in applied science.

Since I am obsessed with cars and love to perform bolt ons and heavy engine work. I am curving my edu and getting a degree in aftermarket business management. If everything goes to schedule, I should be merging with my dads business (co-own) and have my own section of performance.

The reason i took a automotive program was to start out as a car porter and work my way up to a owner and know the business inside out. Know what the hell is going on, know how a vehicle works, and be able to do a little bolt on work and have fun myself.

My goal is to be well-known with what I put out on the streets.

can you continue the program after the masters if you want?

 

[Flipx99 5,000+ posts]

Yes.

But I have too much fun making fun of others.

See the ecoustics thread.
