Sarah Palin's Education background 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Here's her Education credentials:

* Graduated from Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska, where she was the head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at the school, and the point guard and captain of the school's basketball team. Her nickname was "Sarah Barracuda".
* Palin attended Hawaii Pacific College—now Hawaii Pacific University—in Honolulu for one semester in 1982. Her major was Business Administration.
* She transferred to North Idaho College, a community college, in 1983, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1987.

Nothing out of the ordinary here.
i will reserve my judgement on her once I hear more about her and see her debates.

Education- wise, we have the same background. In high school, I was team lead for Track and field. Didn't participate in the 'Christian' stuff until I was in College. I got my BS in Marketing and a minor in finance.
I was somewhat active with a Christian group called InterVarsity. Got out when they started preaching though shall Not masturbate stuff.

I didn't enter politics because i find them 2-face. I entered the Stock Market and making a good living.
I think I made the right choice.

Hmmmmm.... Very few community colleges offer BA or BS degrees since they're two year schools...and even fewer did in the 1980s.
I went on their website and, guess what, they only offer Associate degrees now. Wonder if she even got a BS...or if it just IS BS...

Get to the hardcore meat of the nation. That will determine the votes.

I say the fact that she kept washing out of so many schools is an issue. it shows that she may not be intellectually prepared to handle the demands of such a high office.

did you see her interview? if you did you wouldn't think she was smart.

Palin attended five colleges in six years before graduating from the University of Idaho in 1987.

She began college at Hawaii Pacific University, a private, nonsectarian school in Honolulu. She attended only as a freshman during the fall of 1982,
then known as Sarah Louise Heath, she was in the business administration program as a full-time student. From Hawaii Pacific, Palin transferred to North Idaho College, a two-year school in Coeur d'Alene, about 30 miles east of Spokane. She attended the college as a general studies major for two semesters, in spring 1983 and fall 1983. From North Idaho College, Palin transferred 70 miles south to the University of Idaho, the state's flagship institution. She majored in journalism with an emphasis in broadcast news. She attended Idaho, whose mascot is the Vandals, from fall 1984 to spring 1985. Then she returned to Idaho, for spring 1986, fall 1986 and spring 1987, when she graduated. Despite her journalism degree, she does not appear to have worked for the college newspaper or campus television station, school officials said. She worked briefly as a sportscaster for KTUU in Anchorage after she graduated college.

Unfortunately we would not know what her GPA is due to privacy laws.
If it was a 4.0 - they would have broadcast that like they broadcast Obama's Magnum Cum Lau!
