University of Missouri and LPU Signed MoU
University of Missouri and LPU Signed MoU
In a step further towards its internationalization strategy, Lovely Professional University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with University of Missouri, Columbia. This MoU was signed between the Engineering departments of both the Universities with a vision of providing the students the opportunity to study in each other’s campus and learn the workings of foreign universities.
Both the universities are prominent names in the field of education in their respective countries and are considered to be pioneers of quality education at international level. Missouri University is considered one of the nation’s top-tier institutions of the world and has a reputation of excellence in teaching and research while LPU has earned the stature of largest University in India. The twinning arrangement programmes offered by LPU have a major say in the curriculum and pedagogy of the University and this prompts the foreign universities to come in collaboration with it. Under this MoU, the students taking admission in the under graduate engineering courses of 2011 session shall be eligible to complete half their course at LPU and the other half at Missouri University.
On signing the MoU, Mr. Ashok Mittal, Chancellor of LPU said, “LPU is a global University having tie ups with 20 international universities of global repute. Our twinning arrangement programmes are the strength of our curriculum which allows our students to have enough international exposure. This collaboration with University of Missouri will benefit our students in terms of practical exposure and knowledge enhancement which will further help them in their professional lives. Such students who have global exposure and experience always have an edge over other potential candidates at the time of recruitments. We want all our students to have that ‘edge’ and hence we are doing continuous efforts to enter into such new collaborations.”
Expressing his trust in LPU, Dr.Jim Thompson, the Dean of University of Missouri said, “We always wanted to have a tie up with an Indian University which works on the similar strategies and patterns as we do. After a stringent survey on Indian universities we found LPU to be the best suited one for our requirements. The University is not only open to spreading quality education at international level but also has its curriculum and pedagogy at par with international universities. This makes it a university well recognized at global level. As we sign this MoU with such a renowned name, I’m pleased that our 6 months efforts to get associated with LPU have well paid off.”
The most illustrative factor about MU is that it is ranked at No. 32 with Michigan State University and Virginia Tech in the top 50 public national universities-doctoral list with more than thirty thousand students on rolls. North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) of United Statesaccredits it. NCA itself is one of six regional organizations recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

The World of Online Nursing
The world of online nursing can be a wonderful, yet frightening experience to anyone who has not taken an online class or who has limited computer skills. In an online nursing program, people are expected to read assignments and complete projects online. This may mean a person will need to know more about their computer before enrolling in an online program. Be sure that basic skills like opening documents, saving files, and downloading images and text area able to be completed. These are skills that any person would need when trying to pull information off the computer.
Once a person is comfortable with their computer, they can choose a nursing program that will suit their needs. The world of online nursing is expanding. With so many people in need of quality care, a nurse should not have any problem finding a job or moving up in their career. There are many jobs that require a bachelor’s or master’s degree in nursing. Obtaining this type of degree online is a great way to learn many new skills, improve computer skills, and discover new techniques and procedures. This is especially necessary for those who have not gone back to school in a long time. Medical advances are rapidly changing the face of nursing.
After a few weeks, the world of online nursing will become familiar. Turning in assignments, taking tests, and getting grades will seem routine. Many online programs are only one or two year programs. This means in a short amount of time, a person could be working in a new career they can be proud of. Upon completion, a person will receive a diploma that is similar to one given at a university. With this diploma, a nurse now has many options. The University of Obama classes have hopefully given them the foundation they will need to succeed in any area of nursing. Overcoming one’s fears and taking classes over the internet will help a person feel more confident and in control of their lives.

Academic Degrees
The first universities were founded on Europe in centuries XII and XIII. Education carried out it, like in other professions, people properly described. Of the same form in which a carpenter obtained the condition of masterful carpenter when its league saw it described, a professor became teacher when its league gave the license him of its profession.
The candidates who completed three or four years of study of texts prescribed in the Trivium (grammatical, rhetorical and logical), and that passed the examinations lead by their teachers, they received the bachelor rank. A degree was then a passage in the way to become a described teacher – of “the graduated” word there, based on Latin gradus (“step”).
Nowadays the terms masterful, doctor and professor mean levels different from academic profit, but initially they were equivalent. The University of Boloña in Italy, considered oldest of Europe, was the first institution in in the last granting the title of Doctor in Civil Law years of century XII; also it granted similar degrees in other matters, including the medicine. Nótese that nowadays in medicine is only applied the term of doctor for the students who have completed their first level of academic formation.
The University of Paris used the term masters for graduated his, practical that it was adopted by the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
The names of the degrees possibly tied with the studied matters. The students of the faculties of arts or grammar were known like teachers, but those in philosophy, medicine and laws were known like doctors. The doctor degree assumed a position greater than the one of the teacher degree, since the study of the arts or the grammatical one was a prerequirement necessary to study philosophy, medicine and laws. This lead to the modern hierarchy in which more the title of Doctor in Philosophy (Ph.D) is an advanced degree than the one of Teacher in Artes (M.A.). The practice to use the term doctor for all the advanced degrees was developed in the German universities and it extended everywhere.
The French terminology is related close by to the meaning original of the terms. Baccalauréat (cf. loquacious) confers the French students who have completed successful their secondary education and serves to enter the university. When the students graduate as the university, a license is granted to them, which is very similar to which a professional league had done, and it qualifies them to teach in institutions of secondary education or to continue its studies.
In Germany, the doctorate still is the greater granted degree; additions to the title that specify the study area, like Dr.rer.nat can be included. (Doktor rerum naturalium) in natural sciences and Dr.Ing. (Doktor-Ingenieur) in engineering.
In Europe the degrees through the Process of Bolona are being harmonized, that is based on the hierarchy of three levels (Loquacious, Máster, Doctor) that is used at the moment in the United Kingdom and the United States. This system is gradually replacing the system of two levels that is used in some countries.
