A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

Is a online school good for a bachelors in psychology?
An on-line degree program is fine, as long as the college or university has a regional accreditation.
What is the average amount of time that it takes a full time student to earn a bachelor degree?
I work full time and it feels like it is taking forever to earn a degree. you can earn it fast at a for profit school like National American University or Rasmussen but you will paying almost three time more for school and the degree will not be a credible as a community college or state university. I can only do on-line classes part time while I work full time. I wish I was fortunate enough to go to college right out of high school and attend full time. I do feel that going as an adult make my feel like I'm getting sharper in my every day life and I already have work experience so I will be ready for that promotion when I'm done with school. Bachelors degree could take up to 6 years to complete as a part time student but you cant even skip a single semester. I'm glad I don't have kids yet ! Good luck, it is worth it and dont expect you children to good to college if you didnt!

With the Associates degree you could work in a long term care facility as the admissions coordinator, administrative assistant but in order to actually be the administrator you would need your bachelors degree. You can look on line and it should tell you more of what you can do with the Associates degree.

How is a degree from an online school different?
It depends on whom you are taking it from. There are many schools that call themselves University, but they do not give proper credit hours for the degree, therefore you will not be able to say that you have bachelors degree after graduation. If you choose to get a degree online you will need to make sure that they are giving nationally accepted credit hours. I would suggest to find official college that offers online degrees as well as classroom education. In this case, in my opinion, there is no difference if you got your degree online or off line. Also you will be able to take some classes online and some offline.
What is the average starting salary for a film or communications graduate with a Bachelors Degree vs a Masters Degree?
There is absolutely no benefit right out of college for your first job. The masters degree will benefit you later down the line in the 3rd, possibly second job......It is recommended that communications majors enter the market after the bachelors to get experience, and slowly work on masters. Many companies have tuition reimbursement as well which is another reason to go ahead and join the work force.

What are some fast degrees?
There are no shortcuts. Please stop that kind of thinking. All degrees consist of the same numbers of course credits, and all course credits take about the same amount of time to earn. So there's no such thing as a "fast" degree.The only thing you can do to maybe speed it up a bit is to "test out" of certain courses by sitting for either CLEP or DSST/Dantes standardized exams. But most schools won't let you do very much of that. The absolute most CLEP/DANTES exam credits that most schools will accept is maybe a year's worth... approximately 30 semester credit hours worth. Most won't even allow that much.So, bottom line: However long a degree takes, is how long it takes. There's no shortcutting.A 60-semester-credit-hour associates (AA or AS) degree takes two years of full-time study.A 120-semester-credit-hour bachelors (BA or BS) degree takes four years of full-time study.Remember, though, that the associates degree is equal to the first two years of the bachelors degree. So it doesn't take six years of full-time study to earn both an associates and a bachelors. Rather, one first earns the associates, and then transfers that into a bachelors program; and the associates counts as the freshman and sophomore years of the bachelors, thereby allowing the student to enter the bachelors as a junior, and then complete just the junior and senior years of the bachelors. So, then, both the associates and bachelors are earned in only four years, just exactly the same is if just the four-year bachelors were earned without the associates.Of course, either of them may be earned over a longer period of time via part-time study; and many people -- especially working people, with families -- do it eactly that way. It just requires both perseverance and patience.If you have neither the patience or perseverance to take however long it takes to earn the degree, then you're not suited to pursue said degree.Whatever you do, though, don't fake it. Don't go out and get a worthless degree-mill or diploma-mill degree. More and more states are actually making that illegal; and in states like Oregon, you can even be charged with a crime for putting a fake degree on your business card, resume, a job application, in advertising, etc. Plus, once you're on the Internet somewhere, claiming a fake degree, it'll follow you around for the rest of your life, even if you stop claiming it in the real world. Human resources people always Google new job applicants, and your claiming that old fake degree will still be out there, online somewhere, even when you're in your sixties. DO NOT DO IT!Do not shortcut. Get an accredited and legitimate degree legitimately! And however long it takes, is however long it takes. One is either sufficiently patient and mature to endure it, or one isn't.
Can a bachelor's degree be obtained with prerequisite an associate of science degree in accounting?
Answer 1: The "Associate of Arts" (AA) degree is usually counted, by most bachelors degree programs, as equivalent to the entire first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the bachelors degree. So, then, a person with an AA could, theoretically, enter a BA program, get said AA counted as the first two years thereof, and then enter said BA program as a junior and finish just the junior and senior years, and, voila!, s/he has the bachelors degree.So the bottom line answer is, at least theoretically, two (2) years.However, some bachelors programs, after analyzing the AA degree, will declare that it is deficient in some of what's called "lower division general education" (LDGE). All associates and bachelors programs contain up to 45 semester credit hours of pretty much the same LDGE; but some bachelors programs require slightly different amounts of LDGE, in slightly different areas, than do some associates programs. And so it's possible for someone with an AA degree to use it to enter a bachelors program, and said bachelors program will make the AA degree holder take a course or two or three of LDGE in order to make-up whatever is the deficiency. If so, then the AA degree holder would first need to do that, and only then enter the bachelors program at a junior. If that happens, then finishing the bachelors may take two years, plus maybe a summer session or something like that.Additionally, a bachelors degree in accounting is a specialist degree, usually intended to prepare the graduate for sitting for a state CPA exam and licensure as a certified public accountant (CPA). Such degrees usually require additional amounts of math; and many AA degrees contain only one math course (typically something like "College Algebra" or "College Mathematics" or something like that. Someone with an accounting degree is usually required to have taken that, plus at least calculus... maybe even trigonometry... and definitely statistics.So, then, an AA holder might even end-up taking an additional whole semester, in addition to the junior and senior years, in order to get a bachelors in accounting. It would all just depend on how the accounting degree's requirements and standards, which tend to vary from schools to school.
Should you get a BA for a six year pharmacy college?
In the US, a pharmacy degree has always been a five- or six-year degree which begins right after high-school. So, then, a bachelors degree, first, typically isn't necessary. In the old days, it was a typically six-year-long "Bachelor of Pharmacy" or "Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy" degree; but the accreditor of all the pharmacy schools has changed the nomenclature such that it's now called a "Doctor of Pharmacy" (PharmD) degree. It is, however, a professional, and not an academic degree, and so it's not really at the academic doctoral level. It is, in fact, four years of undergraduate, or undergraduate-plus-post-baccalaureate-level study that begins immediately after a two-year academic associates degree. So, then, it's not an academic four-year bachelors degree that one needs before entering pharmacy school; but, rather, an academic two-year associates degree... ...then, from there, one enters the four-year "PharmD" program. A full six-year "PharmD" program may be entered right out of high school; or one may get one's associates degree (or finish the freshman and sophomore years of a bachelors degree) and then enter the four-year "PharmD" program. Either way will work. Of course, some people don't like the idea of never having gotten a proper bachelors degree before getting the PharmD degree. In that case, then, yes, one goes ahead and gets one's bachelors degree... on pretty much anything, really; and then, from there, depending on the pharmacy schoool, one gets an either three- or four-year-long PharmD degree. If one is absolutely certain that one will only ever be a pharmacist in life, then not getting a bachelors can work fine. But on the off-chance that one may end-up not becoming a pharmacist (or one quits pharmacy) after all in life, one really needs a bachelors degree to even get the kind of job that, twenty five years ago, a person with only an associates degree -- or maybe even only a high school diploma -- could get. So, bottom line, I always recommend getting the bachelors, no matter what. Just take the four years to get that first; and then, after that, enter whatever PharmD program one wants to enter... ...but that's just me. The bottom line is that a person may become a pharmacist, with a "PharmD" degree, six years after graduating from high school if one wants.
