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 years do you have to study to become an accountant?

The number of years is really up to you. I am going for my Associates Degree in Accounting right now and am doing it through a 2 year Community College. I can stop there if I choose or transfer into a 4 year college and continue on for a Bachelor's degree in Business with my major in Accounting. Then I can, if I so choose, go on and obtain a Master's degree in Business with a major in Accounting, and further on for a Doctorate in Business. To be truthful if you want to be a proper Accountant you really never stop the learning process but as for the formal, in-class type of training it can be as little as two years or as long as ten years.
