Answer 2

I can say this. The community college is a great place to start for a number of reasons to include the following. Some will apply to you and some will not. Still, it's a great place to start.

* Community colleges are less expensive to start out with. You can cut the cost of a four year degree almost in half by starting at a community college first, and then transferring to four year college or university to finish up the last two years. * There are typically smaller classroom sizes at the community college with a better professor to student ratio, which means more individualized attention. * Some students do not meet the entrance requirements of the four year college or university, thus they start at the community college first, then transfer later. * The community colleges are typically more family oriented, with a strong sense of community. * Some students like to be close to home, thus they start at their home county community college. * Some careers only require an associates degree.

Answer 3

The general business degree is typically an associate of arts or science (AA or AS) degree deigned for transfer to a four year college or university. At the four year school, the student can then major in a specific branch of business (accounting, marketing, finance, etc.). The associate degree in accounting is usually an associate of applied science degree (AAS), and usually designed as a terminal degree, not meant for transfer, but to give the student all the expertise necessary to enter the workforce immediately after completion of the program.

Answer 4

Many studies have shown that an accounting degree is better than a business degree. An accountant can do business and accounting. A business degree can only do business. An accounting degree gives you a specialty in the business world

Answer 5

An Associates in Accounting is usually an Associates of Applied Science Degree. It is very career oriented and designed to give an individual all the expertise necessary for entry level positions within the work force after completion. However, unless the college where the program of study is taken has a special articulation with a four year college or university to accept the degree full faith in credit, transferring the degree will be problematic. The individual stands to lose much of the credit taken at the two year institution. This kind of degree is designed for people who absolutely have no intention of going for their Bachelors Degree. With the workforce being so competitive today, corporations are looking more for those who hold Bachelors and Masters degrees within their field. This is something to be concerned about should you want to advance your education at a later date. A Business Degree is usually an Associates of Arts degree and designed to give an individual a well rounded education while also focusing on the business prerequisite work need for the more advance course work at a four year college or university. Thus, the student will be exposed to a variety of areas to include, English Writing, Humanities, Social Sciences, Math, and Exact Sciences along with course work particular to business. The program of study is also designed to be transferable to four year institutions for those wishing to go on for their Bachelors Degree. Remember the Associates in Business degree is a basic program from which a student can branch out from to pursue many business careers to include Accounting, Business Management, Business Computer Information Systems, Marketing, Finance, Economics, etc. Viper1

Answer 6

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, and provided the student does not require prerequisite coursework as a result of basic skills testing. 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 coursework 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 bases 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.

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.
