Typically, 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. However, because of the intensity of a program in nursing, and the prerequisites required, this program of study will usually take longer. I would say approximately two and a half to three years to complete if all goes well. It is strongly recommended that the student completes all general education courses (especially the science courses) first before going on to the professional phase courses in nursing. It is a very intensive program, so when a student moves into the professional phase, nursing should be the only subject matter to concentrate on.
Once you start the professional phase of the program (Nursing I), it will take two years from that point. How long it takes you to complete the prerequisites and acceptance to the program is another story. In most cases, The program will require that you complete your English, Anatomy & Physiology I, and Chemistry. However, it is recommended that you complete all your sciences before attempting your professional phase course. When you start your nursing courses, you want to be in a position where that's all you have to concentrate on. This program of study is very taxing and intensive. Students who couple their nursing courses with other general education courses (especially in science) usually do not fair well.
