No, you do not have The Bachelor's degree until you successfully complete all the prescribed coursework particular to a specific program of study, and validated by the registrar of the college or university. Thus, you do not have the degree until the registrar says you have the degree. It's not the number of credits alone that determines whether you have obtained the degree. Individuals who state they have a degree on documentation (job applications for example), without the actual validated degree could be considered fraudulent, and most employers will contact the individuals school to validate their graduation.

How many units needed to graduate?

It depends on your college and the type of degree you want.


How many associate's degrees are considered equivalent to a bachelor's degree to employers?

An Associates Degree is essentially 60 semester units, and a Bachelors is approximately 120. A semester unit is a semester unit, and the "status" or "category" of a semester unit does not change in the junior or senior years of a bachelors degree program. In other words, a 3 unit class in your freshman year, carries the same weight as a 3 unit class in your senior year. Semester units are semester units. You will find the "equivalent to" scenario posted in many jobs advertised by cities and counties. In some job postings, they will actually give you the total number of semester units required to be "equivalent to" a particular degree program. I have never seen a distinction as to any factor which limits where those semester units came from, as long as it is an acredited college or university (including junior colleges). This said, the computation is simple: A single AA Degree is worth 60 semester units; a second AA Degree is worth an additional 60 semester units, for a total then of 120, and so on. Two AA's then are worth one BA, while four AA's are worth two BA's (4 x 60=240 units). The Human Resource Managers I have spoken to, agree that this is the correct interpretation.


What is a Certification for associate's degree?

An associates degree is a 2 year college degree in general education or in an vocational area. There is no certification beyond the college units that you complete in the process of getting the degree. If you are doing a vocational program a certification may go with the degree.


How much does it cost to got to college for your master's and bachelor degree?

Depends on the cost of the units at the college. Each college charges differently for the units. I would suggest you go for a BS/BA first and then worry about a MA/MS.


What is 2 years of college called?

Community college. Gives an AA/AS degree if you finish. These units can be transferred to a four year university or college. A community college is a good way to get these units for far less than a university. I have gone to community college and taught in them.


How many credits to get an AA degree in Mental Health?

An AA is generally 50-60 units or the first 2 years of college. Contact your college.


If you have an associate degree how long will it take you to get a bachelor's degree?

It depends upon a few factors. An associate degress is usually the equivelent of 2 yrs of college course work (frequently at the Jr College level). Usually some or all of this coursework may be applied towards the completion of a bachelors degree. You could conceivably get credited with as much as two years worth of course work towards a 4 year bachelor degree.Considerations entering into a determination on the amount of credit received towards a bachelor degree include the following:1) How closely related is the Associate Degree to the Bachelor degree you are seeking? For example if you have an Associate degree in Veternary technology, you may get more credit towards a bachelors degree in Zoology that you would towards a degree in Literature.2) How much time has elapsed since you achieved your Associate degree? If more than 2 years has gone by, you will probably not get as much credit for the work you did pursuing your Associate degree.3) Where did you get your Associate degree verses where you want to get your Bachelor degree. Often it is easier to transfer credits within the same institution or system (within the same state college system). This is especially true for private schools where they are not incented to accept work done at other schools; they would rather 'sell' you all of the education units you need.


What kind of job should I look for if I don't have a college degree but have previous experience in childcare?

I don't know what state you are in, but if you are in California you can get a child care certificate with 12 units of college. Look for a job with a daycare and use your experience.


What is a fun science class to take in college?

If it is a college level science class, it is a fun science class unless only if you are willing to do the work including the math, memorizing, and studying. College science involves college level math and a course with less math will most likely be a course requiring more memorization.


Average number of units for a Business bachelor of Science?

Depends on the college, university, and program. The number of units and requirements can vary between colleges/universities. This is why when you transfer you have a unit evaluation done and if you are attending a community college you go to the offices of the university you will transfer to know what classes you need in undergraduate work for your degree. They don't have to take all of your units and may require more undergraduate classes.
