Teaching at Community Colleges
- Community colleges provide higher education services, granting certificates, associate's degrees, and offer continuing and adult education.
- In the United States, community colleges, sometimes called junior or technical colleges, are primarily two-year public institutions providing higher education and lower-level tertiary education.
- Many also offer continuing and adult education.
- The student (and family) pays little or nothing for the semesters of education while earning an associate's degree.
- In addition, many colleges offer and accept scholarships or educational grants.
-
Teaching as a Professor or Lecturer
- The term of "professor" is given to all educators at the university level, but there are multiple roles and ranking in higher education.
- Teaching as a professor or lecturer at the university level can be just as rewarding as teaching at the secondary education level, and just as challenging too.
- As of August 2007 teaching in tertiary educational institutions is one of the fastest growing occupations, topping the U.S.
- Additionally, most professorship position require educators to hold a doctorate degrees, while professors at community colleges may only need a master's degree.
- Aspiring educators looking to secure a permanent position in higher education, should consider starting at the adjunct professorship level.
-
Wastewater and Sewage Treatment
- Wastewater is treated in 3 phases: primary (solid removal), secondary (bacterial decomposition), and tertiary (extra filtration).
- Sewage treatment is done in three stages: primary, secondary and tertiary treatment .
- Tertiary treatment (sometimes called "effluent polishing") is used to further clean water when it is being discharged into a sensitive ecosystem.

Preventing Psychological Disorders
- Prevention falls into three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
- Primary prevention targets individuals who are at a high risk for developing a disorder; secondary prevention targets those who are in the early stages of a disorder; and tertiary prevention targets individuals who already have a disorder by seeking to reduce or eliminate its negative impact.
- Tertiary prevention includes methods to reduce the negative impact of existing disorders or diseases by reducing complications and restoring lost function.
- Examples of tertiary prevention programs include Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), diabetes control programs, and home visits to those who are chronically ill.

Syphilis
- The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary).

- Bust in Musée de l'Homme, Paris.Tertiary syphilis may occur approximately three to 15 years after the initial infection, and may be divided into three different forms: gummatous syphilis (15%), late neurosyphilis (6.5%), and cardiovascular syphilis (10%).
- Without treatment, a third of infected people develop tertiary disease.
- People with tertiary syphilis are not infectious.
-
Reactions of Alcohols
- Nucleophilic substitution is a common example, with SN2 conditions working best for primary alcohol synthesis and SN1 conditions affording secondary and especially tertiary alcohols.
- Secondary and tertiary alcohols can undergo SN1 nucleophilic substitution when exposed to hydrohalic acids.
- Although tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized, secondary alcohols can be converted to ketones using an oxidizing agent.
- On the left, a tertiary alcohol undergoes an SN1 reaction.
-
General Organization of the Somatosensory System
- A somatosensory pathway will typically consist of three neurons: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
- Tertiary neurons have cell bodies in the thalamus and project to the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe, forming a sensory homunculus in the case of touch.
- Regarding posture, the tertiary neuron is located in the cerebellum.
