A strong fundamental belief of mine is to never stop self-improvement or personal growth. As such, I am seeking admission to Valdosta State University’s Doctor of Public Administration program. Valdosta State University provides a unique and extraordinary public administration curriculum that harmonizes with my maturity and proficiency levels and I am well prepared for the expectations of the program. While enrolled at Valdosta State University, my objective is to combine the doctoral program’s
Carnegie Mellon’s schools and programs are a natural fit for the way I have always approached learning. When I read about the joint economics program in the The Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Temper School of Business, I became enthralled by the prospect of college life at Carnegie Mellon. In this program, I can combine my career interests in financial modelling with a deep exploration of economics and other social sciences, allowing for cross-disciplinary learning.
Why do you want to undertake graduate work? I wish to undertake graduate work to specialize in the field of Data Science. Pursuing graduate work would not only improve my knowledge in the Data Science but also give me an opportunity to work with the greatest minds in the field including both faculty members and peer graduate students; This would not only serve as an inspiration to look upon but also enable me to be motivated and hard working. In Addition to the talented people, I would have an opportunity
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the University of Chicago is: nontraditional. The University of Chicago’s commitment to the individuality of their student body and building a diverse, quirky college community is an aspect that I truly appreciate. I am aware of many of my weaknesses, one being my reserved nature. I know at the University of Chicago I will be pushed outside of my comfort zone. I want to be challenged to think critically and outside of the box on even the smallest
it will give me insight to the latest techniques of current construction methodologies and provide me with necessary knowledge to take over my family business in the near future. I hope that I qualify all the requirements for admission into your graduate program and give me the opportunity to pursue my Master’s in Construction Engineering for the fall semester of 2016. I hope to continue my quest for knowledge under your guidance and assure you that I will prove my abilities, if given the
With the University's heavy investment in resources supporting prosthetic research, I know that Hopkins will be one of the best environments for me to explore robotic prosthetics and my related areas of interest. In particular, I am most excited about the research opportunities at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab under Dr. Ralph Semmel. My recent research interest in prosthetics came from my idea to make a robotic arm for my final physics and design project. By the act of “just doing” and
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE M.S in CIVIL ENGINEERING "What matters is adding life to years and not years to life" This maxim holds so much meaning and power and has influenced me largely through my learning and progressive years. Evolution has never paused nor will it ever in the future. Evolution continues in all aspects of life. Evolving is reckoned not only in biology terms but also in terms of engineering and construction. I do feel inspired
experienced chemists can make mistakes. Combine unsupervised students with these hazards and the risk grows exponentially. Two students from Texas Tech discovered exactly what can happen when using these dangerous chemicals. On January 7th, 2010, both graduate students, one senior and one freshman, were working on a research project funded by the United States Department of Homeland Security.1 This research was conducted using nickel hydrazine perchlorate (NHP) and its derivatives in an attempt to further
When I started college, I wanted to be a doctor. I wanted to become a pediatrician and I started with a biology major. I didn’t take all my general education classes in the beginning, instead I took a semester full of science. My idea was to graduate with a biology major and pick up a second one up along the way. I had my timeframe all planned out, but realized two years into my major that I did not have the burning desire to become a medical doctor. It was not the profession itself that interested
This quarter helped me to finally understand a Liberal Arts degree. To work and train in a specific focus or trade can be advantageous for engineering and technology endeavors. Today’s technology driven world most certainly demands it. However, one’s ability to see beyond their expertise is also required. Over the years, I have struggled to advance collaboration and consensus building concepts to accomplish assigned tasks. I believe in group, team, and individual buy-in and project support.
