Second conversation and Vocabulary Journal

In this week, I met a student of the University of Washington, on one corner of the streets of the Settle city. I have learned some affairs about how student get a bachelor. That was something I could not understand but now I got it.

The student told me about the first two years in the college. They can study the signatures they want, focuses of course, in the career they have been thinking of.  In the last two years, they have to take the specific subjects of the career, they had chosen.  In México we call that “common core” but they had to choose a career. In the first year the student share foundation subjects. But since the second year, they according their own career, they take specific subjects. For example in engineering careers, all of them study calculus, trigonometry, algebra, etc.

The surprised thing for me is that they can take different kind of subjects. The point is get certain amount of the credits. So when they decide for one, they will complete them and will get a bachelor in arts or in since Ba or Bs. But if they pretend to be a doctor in medicine or a layer I have to study more years
