[nabs-l] Studying a Master's or other degree in the US?

[Karl Martin Adam]

Most graduate programs require you to take the Graduate Records 
Examination (GRE).  Because you're coming from a country where
English is not the official language you'll probably also have to 
take an English proficiency exam--I think it's called something 
like the TOFEL.  I would suggest you go on line and look at the 
requirements for a couple of the schools you might be interested 
in going to--most schools have pretty good information on exactly 
what is required to get in to their programs posted on line.

  HI guys
OK this question has been kind of nagging at the back of my mind; 
I'd
like to return to the US to maybe study a Master's degree, or 
other
degree, and wonder, what tests would I need to take, so that my 
college
degree here in Mexico, is validated, or is this not the right 
list to
ask? I'd like to maybe study something related to access 
technology,
maybe an instructor; I feel I have the qualifications to be a 
good
instructor in the areas of
1.-Empathy: I can put myself quickly into the blind person's 
shoes, from
the initial stages of frustration with the technology, to getting 
the
hang of it; I've been there, thus feel I'm able to understand the 
person
Psychologically speaking.
2.-Teaching Style: Since part of my psychology major focused on
Educational Psychology, I feel I have a teaching style that 
works; how
do you explain then that my technology podcasts are so 
well-listened to?
3.-Here in Mexico, I've wanted to start on my own being an access
technology instructor, but here in Mexico, because of the high 
price of
blindness technology, the blindness technology culture isn't as
well-known as in the US, thus also because of a bad experience, 
I've
been getting the idea maybe I'm not good,? nevertheless there's 
this bug
that itches to maybe have another chance to teach, thus maybe 
proving to
myself I'm not as bad as I think I am?
So my questions are (I'm still in the planning/researching stage) 
how
would I validate my college degree I studied abroad, so that I 
could get
into a university in the States? ]What tests would i need to 
take?
because I imagine that being an Access Technology Instructor 
implies
having a Psychology background of some sort? Thanks for info. Is 
an
Access Technology Instructor a good job for us the blind?
