Best Answer

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. As a part-time student, evidently it would take longer. 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 state mandates.

Last time I checked, the absolute minimum number of semester hours required for an AA degree is 60 semester hours and 3 semester hours required 40 class room hours. However, In order to get in all required courses almost always requires more hours. To get in courses with labs, which are the courses leading to jobs, require more hours.

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.
