READING-COMPREHENSION (1.25 POINTS)


Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40

Learning shouldn't end when you reach a certain point in your career; it should be something you
continuously pursue across your lifetime. As you mature, your areas of interest may change. Perhaps your
personal and career goals may morph into something altogether different than what you originally
intended. In some cases, life happens and you might find it necessary to take a break from your career or
your education. But for people with a strong desire for lifelong learning, this pause is only temporary.
People in modern age have more options to gain the knowledge they want and need. From a
higher education standpoint, universities and colleges are working hard to transform themselves in

different ways. For example, there has been a transition from traditional doctorates to applied ones like
the Doctorate in Strategic Intelligence or Doctorate in Global Security. These academic programs have
their students work to address real-world problems of practice. In addition, some universities now offer
dual degree programs, such as the dual master's degree in emergency and disaster management and
homeland security. Some institutions are also starting to provide accelerated degrees to allow their
students to rapidly advance from a B.A. to an M.A., saving those students time and money on their
educational pursuits.
However, lifelong learning doesn't just encompass full degree programs. With employers focusing
on skillset development, there is an increasing desire for short program offerings as well. "Short
programming" includes sets of courses that lead to a specific credential or badge. For instance, ASIS
International offers a series of certifications, related to security and global studies, which can be used to
add value to your professional portfolio. Another relevant certification is the Certified Threat Manager
(CTM) certification offered by the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals. In some cases,
certificates are perceived to be more valuable as they signal that their owner has current knowledge of a
particular area; however, this perception differs from field to field.
