In the United States, a "four-year degree" usually refers to the completion of an undergraduate studies program. The most common undergraduate degree is a Bachelor's Degree, either Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS). Some colleges offer specialized degrees, such as Bachelor of Engineering.

Four years is the typical amount of time it takes to complete the undergraduate coursework, if the student attends full-time. "Full-time" means that at least X number of classes are taken each semester (or quarter.) However, many students take longer than four years to complete the coursework, and some complete it in less than four years.

While a four year degree usually refers to a Bachelor's degree, the four year component is not necessarily fixed. It all comes down to how many credits you take or complete per year. It is possible to increase or reduce the time it takes to earn a full Bachelor's Degree to suit your individual requirements or the time you have available to study.

You can take a part time bachelors degree program and take a lighter course load but by doing this it may take you up to 8 years to earn your degree. On the other hand it is possible to earn a Bachelor's Degree in as little as 2 years using accelerated degree programs that are now offered by a lot of respected schools and colleges.

The most flexible Bachelor's Degree Programs are online programs where your learning is done through the internet. With this type of course you choose the hours you study, and this can be done from the comfort of your own home.

This would be an associates degree. However, there are three types most common within the United States. Read the following.

What is the difference between Associates of Arts, Associates of Science, and Associates of Applied Science? Associate degrees fall into three main areas. * Associates of Arts (AA) * Associates of Science (AS) * Associates of Applied Science (AAS) Each of the above degrees is designed to be completed after two years of study as a full-time student and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college. In addition, most every community college requires that every incoming student be placement tested before they register for their first semester (unless they fall into an exemption category). This test is not an admissions test and has no bearing on a student's acceptance to the college. In fact, most students have already been accepted to the school before they take the test. It is not a test that is passed or failed, but simply to determine whether an individual needs to take some refresher courses before entering college level coursework. This is to ensure the student has the appropriate basic skills to succeed at the college level. The test is broken down into four parts; two parts English and two parts mathematics. The English includes grammar (sentence sense), and reading comprehension. The math includes computation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, fractions, square roots, and percentages), and the equivalent of a high school algebra I. If the student scores low in any these areas, then they will be required to enroll in the indicated remedial course/s starting with their first semester. Thus, the two year degree plan may turn into a two and a half year, or possibly a three year plan depending on how much remedial work is needed.To limit this time, students have the option to enroll in summer session courses. Now let us look at the inherent differences between the degrees: Associates of Arts (AA) The Associates of arts is really designed as a fully transferable degree to a four year college or university for those pursing a Bachelors degree. It serves to complete most of the four year institutions general education cluster area, which amounts to the first two years of a four year program. It also serves to complete any perquisite courses needed for the four year institutions curriculum major and minor requirements. Students are admitted to Junior level status provided they have completed the matching associate's level degree. In other words, Business AA to Business BA, Engineering AS, to Engineering AS etc. Thus, within this degree students will be required to have a well rounded educational foundation to include, English literature, history, social science, laboratory science, humanities, math, communications, etc. These courses are in addition to the student's major field of study. Associates of Science (AS) Within the AS degrees a student will notice there are less general education requirements, and more career oriented course work. You will find this in curriculums to include, Nursing, Engineering, some Computer Science and Allied Heath fields. Still, these programs should be fully transferable to four year institutions provided the degree matches that of the four year college or university's program of study, as mentioned above under AA degrees. Associates in Applied Science (AAS) The AAS degrees are very career oriented and designed to give the student all the expertise needed for entry level positions upon completion of the degree. Therefore, the student will notice most of the AAS degree is made up of professional phase courses particular to a specific field, and a very limited number of general education courses. This has promoted the myth, that all AAS degrees are not transferable to four year colleges and universities. I will admit, as the degree was originally designed; transferability was not the original intent of this type of degree. Therefore many AAS degree fields of study did not transfer to four year institutions very well. In fact, in some categories it was almost like starting over. Today this is not so. Community Colleges today have what is known as Joint Admissions or Dual Admissions articulations with four year institutions, where if the student completes the agreed upon program of study successfully, the four year institution will take the degree full faith in credit and grant the student Junior level status. This includes AAS degrees. However, it is strongly recommended that a student who is seeking to transfer to a four year institution at a later date, make an appointment with a Transfer Counselor at the Community College for the pros and cons of AAS transfer as well as more detailed information.

Six years of college can provide a variety of undergraduate degrees ( 3 yrs Europe, 4 yrs US) plus some graduate degrees like MBA (2 yrs), JD (2 yrs) etc. However, six years of sampling various undergrad classes may be insufficient to provide even one undergraduate degree such as BS, BSC, BA but ought to be enough for most any associate degree specialization such as AA AS which typically takes two years.

The degree is called an associates degree. The associates degree is designed as a two year program of study as a full-time student provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college. There are some programs of study that may take a bit longer depending on the number of credits required. Usually these are programs within the health related fields. In addition, for students who require developmental course work as a result of basic skills testing, it would take longer. How much longer would depend on the extent of the developmental courses they are required to take. Evidently, those individuals who attend college on a part-time based would also extend their time in school. How much longer would depend on the credit load carried each semester. Typically, an associates degree takes between 60 and 64 credits to complete depending on the specific school, program of study, and state mandates.

Can you get a bachelor's degree in marine biology at a community college?

In the US, community colleges almost by definition do not offer bachelor's degrees (four-year degrees) but are limited to offering associate's degrees and other two-year programs. You can start at a community college and transfer to a four-year school later, but you should double check this with the college you plan to transfer to in order to find out which credits they will accept from that particular community college.
