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 course work 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 based 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.

How many associate's degrees are considered equivalent to a bachelor's degree to employers?
An Associates Degree is essentially 60 semester units, and a Bachelors is approximately 120. A semester unit is a semester unit, and the "status" or "category" of a semester unit does not change in the junior or senior years of a bachelors degree program. In other words, a 3 unit class in your freshman year, carries the same weight as a 3 unit class in your senior year. Semester units are semester units. You will find the "equivalent to" scenario posted in many jobs advertised by cities and counties. In some job postings, they will actually give you the total number of semester units required to be "equivalent to" a particular degree program. I have never seen a distinction as to any factor which limits where those semester units came from, as long as it is an acredited college or university (including junior colleges). This said, the computation is simple: A single AA Degree is worth 60 semester units; a second AA Degree is worth an additional 60 semester units, for a total then of 120, and so on. Two AA's then are worth one BA, while four AA's are worth two BA's (4 x 60=240 units). The Human Resource Managers I have spoken to, agree that this is the correct interpretation.
