How much work experience is the equivalent to a bachelor's degree?

Answer 1

In terms of credits, no. However you need the bachelors degree to pursue the higher level degrees, and typically it is the masters degree that is the next step. After the masters would come the PhD. Still, there may be some universities that offer a combined masters and PhD.

Answer 2

There is no way to tell without knowing the type of work, your position within that field, your accomplishments, the amount of experience, expertise, abilities, etc. There are some colleges and universities that will evaluate work experience. They will require you to build a portfolio with all authoritative documentation validating your work. This is not an easy procedure to go through, however it can be done. Just make sure you do not fall into a scam. There are many so called colleges and universities willing to take your money for a worthless degree. In addition, should you try to use this worthless degree, you can be rejected from a potential employer, fired from an existing employer, or worse, prosecuted. Thus, read the following very carefully. I am posting this for your protection.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, or that do not have the best accreditation, and are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.
