Princeton bachelor -QUESTIONS- job opportunities and graduate schools!

<p>Can you get a Bachelor degree for more than 1 subject after going to Princeton College?</p>

<p>What job opportunities are there for a person who gets his bachelor from princeton College (for example in Mol.-Bio.)?</p>

<p>Can a princeton major bring you "easily" into a medical school/law school or such of another university (like Harvard,UPenn,Yale...) ?</p>

<p>What do you think? With enough hardwork you can get anywhere with a Princeton degree.</p>

<p>It's not Pton "college", it's a university.</p>

<p>Amnesia is right. Princeton doesn't have an undergraduate 'college', like Harvard, Columbia, Yale and others. Princeton is a University for undergraduates. The very small contingency of graduate students are more or less detached from the rest of the school. </p>

<p>There are no professional schools at Princeton, although Princeton University is very closely affiliated with Princeton Theological Seminary, and there is also an Institute for Advanced Study for people researching...well...advanced theoretical physics and quantum mechanics. You may know this already, but I'm just making sure. </p>

<p>If you are applying to Princeton, knowing how the school works and what it has to offer will be a good foundation for your alumni interview (if you have one).</p>

<p>and no, you can't double major</p>

<p>but you can get unlimited certificates in diff. areas.</p>

<p>Doesn't the Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs count as a graduate/professional school? It offers bachelors degrees, too, but it seems more graduate school in character. Wharton (U. Penn) offers bachelors degrees too, but most people would call that a graduate/professional school.</p>

<p>Princeton Registrar counts 2029 graduate students and 4761 undergraduates in the 2005-2006 year, so graduate students make up nearly 30% of the student population. I'm not sure if I would call that the "very small contingency"... I would feel a little slighted by that comment if I were a graduate student at Princeton.</p>

<p>technically, princeton has three professional schools: architecture, engineering, and woodrow wilson. just not any of the big three (business, law, and medicine) or the "lesser" many (communication, dentistry, divinity, education, forestry, nursing, veterinary, etc).</p>

<p>That may be true ske, but the graduate students have a completely seperate campus on the other side of town, with their own buildings, chapel, and dining facilities. The two populations intermingle much much less than at other schools. </p>

<p>F. scottie your statement is right. Princeton does lack professional schools that start at the graduate level, however. All of princeton's three major professional schools start at the undergraduate level.</p>

<p>well, it is certainly a very small number of graduate students if you compare it to other major universities. Harvard, for example, has 6,000 undergrads and around 9,000 graduate students, I believe. Chicago, for example, the opposite of Pricenton when it comes to grad/undergrad population size, has about 1 undergrad student for every 2 graduate or professional students. The advantage at Princeton is certainly the fact that you probably get more top-notch faculty teaching the "college" students, whereas at a school like Chicago that may be a bit harder (although all profs. in the university are required to teach undergrads every year), yet research opportunities may be easier to get.</p>

<p>You should know of the institute for advanced study. any physics class briefs you on einstein's bio, and it will say PRINCETON, NJ he settled. this is when I got up in my physics class, raised my hands and let everyone know each time princeton was brought up that I was going.</p>

<p>oh man, those were the days. high school ruled.</p>

<p>if graduate housing is that detached... I wonder how joey cheek is going to feel? I read that he was probably going to live in graduate housing. wouldn't that make him really detached?</p>

<p>imho, you all should vote for joey cheek as class president.</p>

<p>well, the "graduate college" to which you refer houses only a small fraction of all graduate students. many others grad students live in university-owned housing at other edges of campus, and others still live in non-university housing in town and elsewhere. just as a factual note, princeton houses a much higher fraction of its graduate students than do its peers; it almost has to, because housing in princeton is so scarce and therefore so expensive. also, while the graduate college does have its own dining and certain social facilities, including the beloved "d-bar," it does not have its own chapel. the architect of the complex, the great ralph adams cram, wanted to eventually add a third court for "fellows" complete with such a chapel (where mass would be read in latin as in the old tradition) but alas, the university never commissioned it. see, if you wish, his autobiography, "my life in architecture."</p>

<br>

<p>more like 12,000 grad and professional students, for a graduate-to-undergraduate ratio of roughly 2:1 (cf. P's 1:2, Y's 1:1).</p>
