How long will it take to earn my associate's degree from an online college and how much does it usually cost for an online degree?

Answer 1

Typically, the associates degree is designed as a two year program of study as a full-time student, and provided the degree is taken as prescribed by the college. It doesn't matter if the program is taken online or not. However, I will say that with some online programs, there are institutions where courses start every six or seven weeks, rather than the 16 weeks of a regular semester. In this way, there is the possibility of finishing the degree sooner. As far as cost, it strictly depends on the specific school and state mandates. Read the below and follow the link provided.
