Anyone know someone who went to Wyotech?

^ +1, exactly. Still like that.

devry, last I knew, was accredited.
you leave there with an actual degree. not a piece of paper that says you had good attendance. Don't know if it that way today. It was like 5 years ago when I looked at it. When I was looking at it, I could start at like HCC, transfer my credits and finish the degree at Devry, then go for a masters at FSU if I wanted.

Gah, I was unaware that Devry shared the same accreditation as the world renowned Thunderbird School of Global Management! Never heard of it? no shit.

There are a lot of different types of accreditation. If it isn't shared with a well known university, chances are it's garbage.

Honestly though, if you are willing to put in the work required, you'll want a mechanical engineering degree with a minor or a concentration in vehicles. This won't put you in with the pit crew but could easily put you on the test and design team for the cars, which would most likely pay more and have better living arrangements, i.e. not travel to EVERY race. FIT is a good engineering school in Florida, as should UF and FSU. Maybe USF, I dunno...look yourself. Check out their articulation agreements though, which is which schools they basically guarantee transfer acceptance to their students.

Go to whichever community college they have the agreement with, if it means moving, well you need to look long term. Because a 2 year degree from a school with the articulation basically guarantees acceptance (however, you should be able to get in from any Florida community college). Then transfer and get your Bachelors, then move into working, or a graduate program.

Some links:
Here's the other school that share Devry's accreditation. I bet you won't recognize a single one. Directory of HLC Institutions

FIT (has articulation with brevard and broward CC's, among others) Directory of HLC Institutions



note, I had to go back and remove some stuff about one school after reading it. So if my grammar sucks, deal with it, I'm lazy. Also, engineering is very math heavy, so learn to love it. You'll be going well past calculus into differential equations and possibly linear algebra, definitely worth it though, there are plenty of jobs for engineers.

^ thank you, thank god i didnt have to type that out for a responce.

USF has a great engineering department. and yes, engineering is a great job, but it is not easy by any means. i work for an engineering firm but in structural (civil) engineering. its an up and down field, depending on the industry and the economy. good luck in your decision-

I have a friend in civil engineering, mechanical and electrical. God I just realize i have it so easy after they start talking about classes they have to take. Especially math classes that they have to take. But yes USF indeed does have a very good engineering department.

lol yeah, it took me hours upon hours to figure all this shit out the first time. I couldn't believe how frustrating it is when you don't know what to look for, and no one is really out there saying "Hey dipshit, devry is a bullshit school along with all of those no name crap houses, however, to get into a university since you fucked off after high school, you need to spend 1-2 years at a community college then transfer!".

You know what drives me nuts though, is the Cornell, the ivy league Cornell, has a articulation agreement with Ithaca community college, that after 2 years you can just waltz right in as long as your GPA is above a certain point. I mean for fucks sake. I wish I'd had the knowledge and money to just move up there and do my A.A. there. A few other top tier schools have the same agreements with local schools.
