You can't. Once you apply for a specific program of study at a four year college or university, you submit transcripts from every college you attended in the past. The college will then evaluate your transcripts and determine how may credits will transfer based on your intended program of study. You will have to complete the remaining coursework particular to the specific program you are pursuing.
What else can I help you with?
Would an associate's degree apply toward a bachelor's degree if you decide to continue your education?
The two-year associates degree is equivalent to the first two (freshman and sophomore) years of a four-year bachelors degree. So, then, one who holds a two-year associates degree may apply to a four-year bachelors degree program and enter same as a full junior; and, from there, complete just the junior and senior years of said bachelors degree.At the end of it all, one has still only gone to school for four years, exactly the same as if one had entered the four-year bachelors degree program as a freshman; however, by getting the associates first, one has two (2) degrees that one may put on one's resume at the end of that same four years.Or at least that's how it's supposed to work. The sad truth is that sometimes the associates degree doesn't contain either enough of, or the right kind of what's called "lower division general education" (LDGE) to satisfy the bachelors program. In other words, the bachelors program, if the student had just entered it from the freshman year in the first place, might require a certain amount and kind of LDGE; and the associates program, while containing roughly the same LDGE, may be just a little bit different. And so, in such case, before the bachelors program will allow the associates degree holder to enter said bachelors program as a full junior, a semester or so of additional LDGE may be required.In California, for example, we have the "community college system" (CCS) at the associates degree level; and then both the "California State University" (CSU) and the "University of California" (UC) systems. The CSU syste requires a certain kind and amount of LDGE that's just a little bit different than the UC system requires; and, even weirder, neither of those is quite the same as the LDGE that the CCS system requires if it doesn't know whether the student planes to later enter either the CSU or UC systems.So, then, what that means is the unless the CCS student specifically plans his/her LDGE in anticipation of entering either the CSU or UC systems, then it's entirely possible that his/her LDGE won't be quite right for either; even though it's enough to graduate with the assocates from the CCS system.Planning, planning, planning... that's the key. The bachelors program's "catalog" will explain what LDGE is required. The associates degree student should get a copy (either in print, through the US Mail, or as a PDF file, downloaded from the bachelors program's website) of the catalog, and learn, from it, what LDGE is required; and then said student should simply ensure that whatever LDGE s/he takes during the associates program is what the bachelors program requires.If the associates degree student hasn't decided, yet, what bachelors program s/he will enter after s/he earns his/her assocates degree, then s/he should consult with his/her academic advisor and structure his/her LDGE such that it's more than what pretty much any bachelors program would likely require so that s/he is then free to apply to pretty much any bachelors program out there. For Californians, the pretty much means to simply structure the LDGE of one's associates degree, while in the CCS system school such that the UC system (the tougher of the two, CSU and UC, systems) would accept it.
Is it best to go for associate or bacholers degree first?
You can choose to start with either if your intent is to obtain the bachelor's degree.An Associate degree (two year community college) 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. Evidently it would take longer as a part-time student. Within the United States, the associates typically falls into three main categories; Associates of Arts (AA), Associates of Science (AS), and Associates of Applied Science (AAS). An associates of arts (AA), and associates in science (AS) degrees are typically designed for transfer to a four year college or university. Therefore, these degrees have a strong liberal arts emphasis and include a good balance of humanities, social science, and written communication along with the exact sciences especially in higher level math. They also have the foundational course work needed as prerequisites for the higher level courses at the four year institution. The AAS was typically designed as a terminal degree giving the student all the expertise needed to enter the workforce after completion of the degree. However, today, many AAS degree are transferable to four year institutions, but the student should meet with the transfer counselor for appropriate direction when it comes to the AAS degrees. Depending on the program of study and state mandates, the associates can take anywhere from 60 to 64 credits to complete. Some programs of study (usually within the health related fields) may take a bit more in credits.Four Year College or University LevelThe bachelor's degree (four year college or university) is designed as a four year program of study provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university. Again, part-time students will take longer to complete the degree. How long it would take depends on the credit load taken per semester. Basically, within the United States there are two common categories; Bachelors of Arts (BA), and Bachelors of Science (BS). It depends on the institution and department within the school as to which focus they prefer.The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.The BS is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.The number of credits required depends on the program of study. In general, the bachelors can take between 120 and 128 credits to complete. Some programs of study may take more. For example, architecture. The following are some differences between community colleges, and four year colleges and universities.Community CollegeMany individuals start at the community college level for a variety of reasons to include: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.Four Year Colleges and UniversitiesFour year institutions are usually larger, with a number of activities not offered at the community college level. For example, fraternities, and sororities, college football, etc.Some colleges may have top name lecturers, within large lecture halls which are preferred by many students.Some individuals like the four year institutions environment (the university atmosphere).There are students who can major in special program curriculums not offered by the community college.In the end, it is a matter of preference.
Will an associate of science degree help you get an engineering degree?
Answer 1: An associate of science degree is a two-year, 60-semester-credit-hour, lower-division academic degree......a degree which is equal to the first two (freshman and sophomore) years of a four-year, 120-semester-credit-hour, lower- and upper-division bachelors degree. In other words, if you have a finished associated of science (AS) degree, then you would be able to transfer it in a bachelor of science (BS) degree, and begin said BS in the junior year, and complete the junior and senior years and end-up with not only the bachlors degree that you could put on your resume, but the earlier associates degree, too!An engineering degree is a bachelors degree... usually a bachelor of science degree. And a BS in engineering degree has a freshman and sophomore year, just like any other BS (or bachelor of arts (BA)) degree. Since the associates can function as the freshmand and sophomore years of a BS in engineering, then the answer, categorically, is "yes," of course an associate of science degree can help you get an engineering degree! An associate of science degree can, in fact, become the entire first half of a bachelor of science engineering degree!Just remember, though, that a BS in engineering contains a ton of math and science courses. If you're going to be properly prepared for that (and also if you want your associates to count as the full first two years of the bachelors, so that you don't have to do a little catching-up before you may enter said bachelors as a full junior), then your associates also has to contain a ton of math and science courses.But they need to be the right math and science courses. Not just any will do!So first figure out which bachelor of science in engineering degree you'd like to get; and then go to that school's website and download its "catalog" as a PDF file (or, if not available, then call the school and ask for a printed copy of the catalog to be sent to you in the US Mail). If you're considering several schools for the bachelors, then do the same for each school.In the catalog(s), you'll find the precise math, science, and all other kinds of courses that each BS in engineering degree will require. Notice the "lower division" (freshman and sophomore year) courses that each of those BS in engineering degrees require. As you're crafting your associates degree, simply make sure that you include all of those kinds of courses that the engineering bachelors degrees like to see their graduates take during the freshman and sophomore -- lower division -- years. That way, your associates degree will already meet or exceed the BS in engineering degree's lower-division requirements when you apply for said BS in engineering program.An associate of science (AS) degree already contains more math and science courses than an associate of arts (AA) degree. And the amount that your associates degree contains may already be enough to satisfy the engineering bachelors degree program. But don't take a chance that it won't. Definitely figure out what math and science (and other kinds of) courses the engineering bachelors program of your choice requires of its freshmen and sophomores, and then simply make sure that your associates includes them.
Do you need a degree to be a cop?
Why not ring your state police headquarters or go on the net. Ring the local police station. They could probably put you in contact with Recruiting. Most police forces do on the job training... though for some skills you might have to do tech college or a university course after hours. If you really want to be a cop take your time. It will all pan out.
Hey, I want make an admission for colleges of Canada as an international student and I have low total high school grades so the question is:- Can I put my bachelors degree license in the admission instead of my diploma degree?
yes
If you get an associate's degree will all of the credits transfer when you go on to a 4-year college or university?
It depends on the type of associates degree and the specific program of study. There are degrees at the associate level that are referred to as transfer programs and will be accepted full faith in credit at four year colleges and universities. Many individuals take advantage of the community college system for a variety of reasons. Still, there are some programs of study that are typically terminal degrees, that are very career oriented and designed to give a student all the expertise necessary to enter the workforce immediately after completion of the degree. Always meet with the transfer counselor at the school you attend for detailed information. Read the following for the differences in associate degrees. This should help.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.
Does one get Graduate Diploma by special entry without having bachelor's degree In USA?
The US tends not to have "graduate diplomas by special entry." In the US, graduate work may typically not be begun until and unless all requisite undergraduate work is completed... and that usually means a bachelors degree.And so, then, in the US, one may not, for example, typically, enter a graduate either certificate (typically 12 to 18 semester credit hours in length), or masters degree (typically 32 to 48 semester credit hours in length) program until and unless one has completed one's undergraduate bachelors degree.But you mention a "graduate diploma," and the US tends not to have such things. But the UK has, at least in the past. In the UK, though, the whole certificate, then diploma, then degree thing is very different than it is in the US. For the benefit of those in the US who read this......a bachelors degree in the UK is typically only three years long (as opposed to the US's typical four-year-long bachelors degrees). And though this is an oversimplification, the reason is because the "lower division general education" (LDGE) that is typically found in the first year to year-and-a-half of a typical four-year US bachelors degree is covered in the UK by a thing called "GCE" or "GCSE" or "A-levels" or "O-levels," which are all courses which students take during or after high school, but before college. And so by the time the student enters a bachelors program in the UK, s/he has obtained the LDGE coursework that we, in the US, put into the first of the four years of the bachelors.The UK's system is kinda' better, in some ways, though, because even though the bachelors degree in the UK is only three years long, nearly every minute of it involves courses in whatever is the degree's major. A typical US four-year bachelors includes not only the LDGE, but also general electives, in addition to courses in the major. And if the US bachelors degree holder further dilutes the coursework in the major by adding coursework in a minor, then the US bachelors degree holder ends-up with actually less coursework in the major than do bachelors degree holders in the UK. And so it's fair to say that a UK three-year bachelors degree holder might (and I stress that word, because it all just depends on a lot of factors) be more learned in whatever is the UK degree's major than is the typical US four-year bachelors degree holder learned in whatever is his/her US bachelors degree's major.In any case, a person who enters a UK bachelors program, but who leaves it after completing only one year, gets a "certificate" in whatever is the UK bachelors degree's major. And if they leave the three-year bachelors program after only two years, then they get a "diploma" in it. Only if they stay all three years do they get the full bachelors degree in whatever is the major.Much the same thing is often true in the UK about its two-year masters programs. If they leave it after only a year, they get a "diploma" in whatever is the masters degree's major; and if they stay for the entire two years, then they get the actual masters degree. There are even some three-year masters in the UK which use the same "certificate" or "diploma" or "degree" plan as the UK bachelors degrees.We, in the US, have no equivalent to any of that. In the US, we have two-year associates degrees, four-year bachelors degrees (toward which the two-year associates can count for half), and two- or three-year (sometimes longer) masters degrees (and then, after that, doctoral-level graduate degrees). We also have both pre- and post-baccalaureate certificate programs, and graduate certificate programs. That's it. No diplomas. In the US, one's "diploma" is that which s/he got from his/her high school. My having written that, though, I'm sure someone will be able to think of a US school that offers "diplomas," but, seriously, those are rare. And they don't mean the same thing as what a "diploma" means in the US, in any case.The UK does, indeed, have "special entry" provisions for some of its educational credentials that could allow a person to obtain a graduate credential without having first gotten an undergradate one; however, that sort of thing varies greatly from school to school; and the QAA (the UK's educational quality assurance agency) is stronglly discouraging it except for a few special circumstances wherein a well-known graduate credential has always, by design, and from its outset, been available to even those with no undergraduate credentials... such as Heriot-Watt University's MBA, for example, just to name one.In the US, though, getting graduate-level credit or any kind before one has fully completed one's undergraduate work (in other words, before one has completely one's bachelors degree) is just so, so, so uncommon. It would have to be a very special circumstance, indeed! Most self-respecting graduate schools wouldn't even consider it.Someone reading this may be able to think of some exceptional school somewhere that allows it.

How long do it take to get bachelor's degreee in nursing if you have a AA degreee?
Answer 1: An associates degree -- be it an "Associate of Arts" (AA) or an "Associate of Science" (AS) -- is 60 semester credit hours. A bachelors degree, regardless of kind, is typically exactly twice that: 120 semester credit hours.The "lower division general education" (LDGE) coursework of both an associates degree, and a bachelors degree, are identical; and so, then, either all or nearly all of any associates degree may be counted as the first two years -- the first half, or the freshmand and sophomore years) -- of any bachelors degree. So, then, in other words, a person with a two-year associates degree, who transfers same into a four-year bachelors degre, will only have to do that last two (junior and senior) years of said bachelors degree.After that, s/he will be able to put both an associates and a bachelors degree on his/her resume, even though it took him/her the same four years to earn both degrees as if s/he had just gotten a four-year bachelors degree.The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree is a four-year, 120 semester credit hour (or sometimes it's 128 semester credit hours, at some schools; but for our purposes, here, let's just go with 120 semestee credit hour) bachelors degree; and so a 60 semester credit hour associates degree -- regardless whether it's an AA or AS degree -- should count as most or all of the BSN's first two (freshman and sophomore) years, leaving only the BSN's last two (junior and senior) years to be completed.But the operative word, there, was "should." An AA degree is an arts degree, and an AS degree is a sciences degree. Arts degrees always have less math and science in them than do AS degrees; and a BSN contains lots of math and science. So, then, it's less likely that an AA would count as the entire first two years of a BSN than it would be that an AS would so count. Therefore, a person transfering an AA into a BSN program will quite likely need to take a couple or three summer sessions of additional math and science courses in order to get caught-up. Therefore, an AA degree holder who transfer his/her AA into a BSN might end-up going to school for a semester or so (or at least a summer or so) longer than an AS degree holder who did the same thing.But, in any case, an associates degree -- regardless whether an AA or AS -- should count as aroung half of the BSN......at least in most states. Some states require that the BSN be a bit longer than a normal bachelors degree. In such states, the AA or AS would likely still count toward most or all of the freshmand and sophomore years, but the student may then need to take not only the BSN's normal junior and senior years, but also however much additional coursework the state requires in order to earn a BSN.Remember that nursing is a regulated (by the state) profession, requiring a license. The state, therefore, gets to decide what kind of education it wants its nurses to have before it will issue them a license. In some states a BSN is a certain number of semester credit hours in length, and in other states it's a bit more. It all just depends on the state.There are also states -- and I'd sure never want to be in the hospital in any of them -- that will allow persons with only two-year associates degrees to become a "registered nurse" (RN). In most states, people with associates degrees may only become such as a "Licensed Practical Nurse" (LPN), or a "Licensed Vocational Nurse" (LVN), but not an RN. In most states, one must have not only a four-year bachelors degree, but, specifically a "Bachelor of Science in Nursing" (BSN) degree in order to become an RN. Avoid, if you wish to follow my advice, getting sick and being in the hospital in any state where a person with only an associates degree may become an RN! But now I digress. Sorry.So, bottom line, a person with a two-year AA degree should be able to transfer same into a four-year BSN degree, and then do around two more years of study, give or take, in order to earn said BSN degree. But, seriously, it can vary from state to state; so please contact the nursing board (or whatever state entity issues nursing licenses) in the state in which you plan on being a nurse, and learn precisely what are the educational requirements.Know, also, that some state nursing boards won't accept a BSN from just anywhere. Some states actually specify from which schools their nursing license applicants must have graduated in order to be acceptable. So, again, always consult the website of the state entity which issues nursing licenses in the state in which you'd like to be a nurse so that you may see exactly what are the educational requirements in order to become the kind of nurse you'd like to become. Whatever the state says, and not what anyone in a place like this tells you, is the correct answer to your question.
