(QS, BS Criminology)

Well, I am going to be a forensic psychologist. I have a BS in psych but I played around and messed up my chances to get into a PhD programme, the MS is to "rehabilitate" my GPA LOL!!!! I am doing a thesis so the degree is more like a criminology degree. I plan to parlé my thesis into my dissertation. My MS along with my PhD and my second language (picking up Farsi) the feds can't say no :)

Well that is my long drawn out life story. I am sure that answerd your question and then some!! LOL
