Im going to a community college for my associates in Computer Info. Systems, and the college has a transfer agreement with other four year colleges in my state. Can i transfer to my junior year and major in anything i want? Lets say business. And if i want to go for my masters, what can i take?
Answer
You don't need a minor at all to get a bachelors degree. The minor shows up as a side note that may help you qualify for other jobs or give you other experience. I know someone who is majoring in computer science, and minoring in Spanish. I'm majoring in electrical engineering and minoring in computer science, and my wife has a bachelors degree in biology with a minor in chemistry, my sister has a bachelors degree in chemistry with a minor in physics (she also has a masters degree in analytical chemistry), and I have a brother with a degree in software engineering with no minor, and a brother with a degree in geology with no minor.
Yeah, you can transfer your junior year and major in business. If you haven't taken any business courses, then you're on square one with that major, but everything that transferred over or that you have equivalence for will stick. The transfer agreement with other colleges means "If a person receives an associate degree from that college, it will nullify all general education requirements and most of the courses taken will have direct equivalences at this college." That's all it means. You can major in anything you feel like at any time -- you could even switch to a major in music right before graduating with a degree in chemistry, but you would be put back on square one in the music major.
Typically a masters degree will be in something related to your bachelors degree, since there are certain prerequisites to entering a masters program (a few exceptions: medical schools take pre-med bachelors degrees, biology degrees, chemistry degrees, even engineering or philosophy degrees if they have taken the prerequisite anatomy, physiology, and organic chemistry; Masters of Business Administration programs love having people with engineering, computer science, or other marketable backgrounds, but surprisingly enough don't like bachelors of business administration as much). It's awfully hard to try to get into a masters program in biology when your bachelors degree was in philosophy, and it's hard to get into a masters program in psychology when your undergraduate degree was in computer science.

How can I wipe out the data from my computer and still have the programs left?

I want to donate an old desktop but do not want any privlidged info transferred. Is there a program that wipes out entered data and leaves the OS and and other programs intact? I don't want to reinstall everything before I donate the computer.
Answer
there are two ways to do this one that goes against what you want to do and one that follows what you want to do and takes forever. 1. follow your way uninstall every program YOU installed not ones you did not install you can do this by going into the control panel and clicking on add or remove programs only uninstall items you put their then delete all your files on the computer 2. faster but you will haveto reinstall windows if you have the windows install disc go to my computer right click on drive c: click format it will warn you that this should not be done or your start up drive should not be formated ignore and format anyway only if you have the windows operating system disc your computer after formating will "crash" to shut it off press and hold the power button until the computer shuts off but before you do that put the disc in the drive but don't close it yet when you turn it on it will say can not load operating system this is when you close the drive and reinstall windows this is much faster and enures your data can not be found but since you don't want to do this you do not have to
