Private vs. Public Schools: What's the Difference?
Cost
Public schools cannot charge tuition. They are funded through federal, state and
local taxes. When you pay your taxes, you are paying for your child's education and the education of other children in your community.
Private schools cost money. Private schools do not receive tax revenues, but instead
are funded through tuition, fundraising, donations and private grants. According
to the National Association of Independent Schools, the median tuition for private
day schools in the United States is close to $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $13,000
for grades 6 to 8 and $15,000 for grades 9 to 12. The median tuition for boarding
schools is $12,000 for grades 1 to 3, $27,000 for grades 6 to 9, and $28,000 for
grades 9 to 12. Parochial schools generally charge somewhat less.
Teachers
Public schools: All teachers in a public school are usually state certified or,
at a minimum, working toward certification. Certification ensures that a teacher
has gone through the training required by the state, which includes student teaching and coursework.
Private schools: Teachers in private schools may not be required to have certification,
and instead often have subject area expertise and an undergraduate or graduate degree in the subject they teach...

About Cornell University
Once called "the first American university" by the educational historian
Frederick Rudolph, Cornell University represents a distinctive mix of eminent
scholarship and democratic ideals. Adding practical subjects to the classics and
admitting qualified students regardless of nationality, race, social circumstance,
gender, religion or who graduated from a grade school was quite a departure when Cornell was founded in 1865.
Today's Cornell reflects this heritage of egalitarian excellence. It is home
to the nation's first universities devoted to hotel administration, industrial
and labor relations, and veterinary medicine. Both a private school and the land-grant
institution of New York State, Cornell University is the most educationally diverse member of the Ivy League.
On the Ithaca campus alone nearly 20,000 students representing every state
and 120 countries choose from among 4,000 courses in 11 undergraduate, graduate,
and professional schools. Many undergraduates participate in a wide range of interdisciplinary
programs, play meaningful roles in original research, and study in Cornell programs in Washington, New York City, and study abroad.
In his first inaugural address, at the Weill Cornell Medical College campus
in Qatar in October 2004, Jeffrey Lehman, the first Cornell alumnus to become
its president, articulated a vision projecting Cornell as "the transnational university of the future."

The Early History of Harvard University
Harvard University, which celebrated its 350th anniversary in 1986, is the oldest
institution of higher education and the excellent MBA school in the United States.
Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the University
has grown from nine students with a single master to an enrollment of more than
18,000 degree candidates, including undergraduates and students in 10 principal
academic units. An additional 13,000 students are enrolled in one or more courses
in the Harvard Extension School. Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including
more than 2,000 faculty. There are also 7,000 faculty appointments in affiliated teaching hospitals.
Seven presidents of the United States, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Theodore
and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Rutherford B. Hayes, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and
George W. Bush were graduates of Harvard. Its faculty have produced 40 Nobel laureates.
On June 9, 1650, the Great and General Court of Massachusetts approved Harvard
President Henry Dunster's charter of incorporation. The Charter of 1650 established
the President and Fellows of Harvard College (a.k.a the Harvard Corporation),
a seven-member board that is the oldest corporation in the Western Hemisphere.
Harvard College was established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was named for its first benefactor, John Harvard
of Charlestown, a young minister who, upon his death in 1638, left his library
and half his estate to the new institution. Harvard's first scholarship fund was
created in 1643 with a gift from Ann Radcliffe, Lady Mowlson.

Medical school first to join humanism society
Many people have been touched by a doctor who cared for us with compassion, empathy
and respect. But can we hope that in today's fast-paced world that the graduates
of the medical school will still be able to care for people in ways that emulate those physicians of a previous era?
Educators on campus say emphatically, yes, we can ensure that the graduates
of the medical school bring those invaluable humanistic skills to their 21st century
practices in much the same way their predecessors did a generation ago.
Scientific knowledge is important, say educators, but that has to be coupled
with compassionate care. So, to ensure that this marriage of equals happens, the
University's medical school has taken another step it hopes will ensure compassionate
care remains a hallmark of a U of A medical school graduate.
The University of Alberta's medical school has become the first Canadian school
to be inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society, one of the initiatives of
the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, a public foundation whose mission is to emphasize
the importance of the relationship between the practitioner and the patient. There is not spring break vacation.

Graduate Programs in Biomedical Sciences
The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, University of Maryland
Baltimore has the distinction of being the first dental
college in the world. The Dental School is a nationally recognized center of learning
committed to educating dental professionals to be self-directed and life-long
learners capable of responding to changing environments. Through a strong emphasis
on research and graduate education, the School is a leader in the advancement
of oral and craniofacial health. The Department of Biomedical Sciences (formerly
Department of Oral and Craniofacial Biological Sciences) was created in 1995 by
the consolidation of the Departments of Anatomy, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pharmacology
and Physiology. The purpose of the consolidation was to foster the integration
of the basic and clinical sciences and to strengthen research training in the
Dental School. A new multidisciplinary doctoral program in Biomedical Sciences
was created to facilitate the already fruitful efforts of the School's graduate
programs. The D.D.S./Ph.D. program was established to produce the next generation
of Oral Health researchers and educators. The Department of Biomedical Sciences
is part of the greater campus community and interacts with Graduate programs in
the biological and related sciences throughout the University of Maryland System.
Students in our graduate programs are trained as molecular and cell biologists,
neuroscientists, and microbiologists. Since its inception, the program has made
significant progress in graduate training, has obtained several major training
grants from the National Institutes of Health, and has produced graduates who
have taken postdoctoral and teaching positions at prestigious institutions.

The Ergonomics Graduate Training Program
The Ergonomics Graduate Training Program was added as a Special Program Area to
the ERC in 1993. Five years later California became the first State in the Nation
to enact a workplace ergonomics standard. This new standard and the persistent
high costs of work-related musculoskeletal disorders have led to a growing West
Coast need for professionals and researchers with expertise in ergonomics.
The Ergonomics Program provides training for an M.S. or Ph.D. degree or post-doctoral
training. The Program is small but the quality of its graduates is high as demonstrated
by their advancement to Ph.D. training and by their rapid employment by regional
firms and agencies. One of the Program's graduates was recently recruited to the
faculty at the Harvard School of Public Health to develop their Ergonomics Program. Two others have also filled faculty posts.

MBA Graduate Program

The MBA Program is taught primarily by CSU's College of Business Administration
graduate faculty, who are selected for expertise in their academic disciplines
and related experience in business. In addition, all MBA faculty have Ph.D.s or
other highest possible degrees in their field of specialization, and are actively involved in

CSU's MBA program is known throughout the region as one of the finest, and our
graduates are recognized as among the best prepared and most capable. Our students

business and industry; public service and community agencies; government; health
care; and other organizations. Many students find that the transition from graduate
school to full-time employment is greatly facilitated through participation in
a co-op or internship opportunity. In fact, some students end up accepting full-time
positions at the very companies and firms for which they interned

Graduate Admissions
Graduate Admissions: The University of Michigan Law School welcomes applications
from around the world and from all segments of the legal profession: private practice,
academia, government, NGOs, and corporations. We seek to create a diverse and
intellectually outstanding student body. Admission to the graduate program is
very competitive and many applicants who would perform well in the program are necessarily turned away.
All applicants must have completed the first degree in law required for law
practice or law teaching in the country in which law studies were pursued. U.S.
applicants must have satisfied the J.D. requirements at an ABA-accredited law
school. In any given year, those accepted to our graduate programs have completed
their legal education with distinction, graduating at or near the very top of
their classes or otherwise demonstrating exceptional academic ability.
Clearly, a highly important consideration in the selection process is the academic
and professional record of the applicants in their own countries. We seek people
who have proven intellectual and professional abilities. Simply looking at grades
and references does not provide an adequate yardstick to predict the outcome of
our selection procedure. While a high threshold of academic and professional achievement
is a requirement, we also try to build a heterogeneous group of graduate students
representing a wide array of qualities, including varied intellectual interests,
different countries and traditions, and diverse life and professional experience.
We attach importance to academic attainments and interests, non-academic achievements,
law-related employment experiences, and ability to benefit from graduate studies.
We take the letters of reference we receive very seriously.
