That is strictly dependent on the specific college or university, whether private or public, the type of institution (community college vs four year institution), geographical location, state mandates, etc. There are no standards particular to tuition and fees. You would have to inquire at each institution of interest. To research all the information on colleges and universities to include tuition and fees, read the following carefully and follow through on the link provided directly below this answer box.

You can obtain this information by going to www.collegeboard.com/splash/ and using the sites College MatchMaker search engine, or you can also click on the related links section (College Board) indicated below this answer box, which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, financial assistance, room and board, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. Below I have listed the six accrediting agencies and their geographical areas of responsibility. I am disclosing the below so you do not become a victim of educational scams, and institutions that are nothing more than diploma mills, where they are eager to take your money for a degree that is worthless. Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.

Regional Accreditation Agencies

· Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, as well as schools for American children in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

· New England Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont).

· North Central Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

· Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities - Postsecondary institutions (colleges and universities) in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.

· Western Association of Schools and Colleges - Educational institutions in California, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Palau, and Northern Marianas Islands.

· Southern Association of Colleges and Schools - Educational institutions in Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas.

How many semester hours is equal to 2880 contact hours?

2880. A semester hour is the same as a credit hour, a credit hour is the same as a contact hour. For a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year, a bachelors can take between between 120 and 128 credits depending on the specific program of study. Thus, I am a bit confused as to why you have indicated 2880 contact hours.2880. A semester hour is the same as a credit hour, a credit hour is the same as a contact hour.

How many hours would it take to complete 124 128 credits?

Basically, 124 to 128 credits for a bachelors degree amounts to a four year program of study if taken as prescribe by the college or university. Each credit is one semester hour. Thus, a credit and semester hour are the same. Most courses are generally three credits. That means three hours of classroom time per week. Some courses are four credits ans some more.

How many credit hours are earned for 1 semester hour?

You're obviously confused.But that's okay. I'm actually rather stunned by how poorly high-school guidance counselors explain all this to soon-to-be graduates who are planning for college.College credit is measured in either "semester credit hours" or "quarter credits," depending on which standard the school has adopted. Most US colleges and universities use the "semester credit hour" system, and your question suggests that it is that system about which you're inquiring, so we'll just forget about, for our purposes, here, the "quarter credit hour" schools.It's the "hours" and/or "hour" part that has you confused. You're obviously thinking that it refers to an actual clock hour. It does not.One college course (or subject or class, depending on the word you want to use; though "course" is the most commonly-used word) is typically worth three (3) "semester credit hours" of credit.An associates degree contains 60 semester credit hours of credit; or, at 3 semester credit hours per course, that's 20 courses.A bachelors degree is double an associates degree: 120 semester credit hours of credit, or 40 courses.In order to earn one (1) "semester credit hour" of course credit, the student must sit in the classroom for 15 clock hours; and must, additionally, do another 45 clock hours of "homework" (reading, writing and preparing for exams at home or in a library or wherever).So, then, a typical US college/university course requires three times that many clock hours in order to earn its "three semester credit hours" of college credit.It's confusing, I know, but that's how the system works.The bottom line is that for each three (3) "semester credit hour" course that you take in college/university, you will spend about 45 clock hours sitting in a classroom; and around 135 clock hours at home (or wherever), doing "homework." Do that, and get good grades, and you'll earn 3 "semester credit hours" of college credit.Do that 19 more times, and you'll earn an associates degree; and 20 times more than that (for a total of 39 more times), and you'll earn a bachelors degree.

How long does it take to earn associate's degree?

Answer 1: I see that this question is part of the "UCAS applications" category, which pertains to the UK. Associates degrees are uncommon in the UK. They're a decidedly US and Canadian (mostly US) sort of thing. Most of what's covered in a US associates degree is covered, in the UK, as part of things like GCSE and GCE A-levels, O-levels, etc.That's why US bachelors degrees are four years long, whereas UK bachelors degrees tend to be only three years long: Because in the US, what's normally covered in the UK in GCE/GCSE, A/O-levels, etc., is typically covered in the first roughly year-and-a-half (or so) of the typical US bachelors degree. Since the US associates degree is little more than the first two years of a US bachelors degree, then a US associates also covers those same basic subjects as the UK's GCE/GCSE, A/O-levels. And US students go straight from 12th grade (high school) into either a two-year associates, or four-year bachelors degree program.Students in the UK already have what's mostly covered in a US associates degree by the time they enter a UK bachelors program, hence the reason a UK bachelors program is typically only three years long, whereas a US bachelors program is four years long. Truth is, a three-year UK bachelors covers more coursework in the major than does a US bachelors; so an argument could be made that someone with a US associates, and then a UK bachelors, is actually better educated in whatever is the UK bachelors degree's major than are most US students educated in whatever is their US bachelors degree's major!The US also doesn't have the three-year "certificate" then "diploma" then "degree" system, wherein one may exit a three-year UK bachelors program after the first year, and earn a "certificate" in whatever is the major; or may exit after two years, and earn a "diploma" in whatever is the major (and then, of course, a "degree" is earned if the student stays the whole three years).The UK also tallies its credits differently than the US does. The UK uses "points," and a typical year's worth of points in the UK is around 120; and so a three-year UK bachelors degree equals 360 points. The US tallies in either "semester credit hours," or "quarter credits," depending on which system the US school in question happens to use.In the US...At most regionally-accredited schools in the United States (US), an associates degree -- designated as "Associate of Arts" (AA), or "Associate of Science" (AS) -- consists of sixty (60) "semester credit hours" (if the school is on the "semester credit hour" system), or ninety (90) "quarter credits" (if the school is on the "quarter credit" system), either of which may be completed in two (2) years of full-time study.At most US regionally-accredited schools, "full-time" study means either 30 semester credit hours (if the school's on that system), or 45 quarter credits (if the school's on that system) per year... accomplished either during the normal semesters or quarters, or during those plus summer sessions.A small number of schools require a tiny bit more credits for an associates. Some (again, a small number) of schools on the semester credit hour system require 66 semester credit hours of study in order to earn one of their associates degrees; and an even smaller number of schools on the quarter credit system require as many as 94 to 98 quarter credits in order to earn one of their associates degrees. But, again, such schools are in the minority. At most US regionally-accredited schools, either 60 semester credit hours (if that's the system the school is on), or 90 quarter credits (if that's the system the school is on) will earn an associates degree.Most US regionally-accredited schools, just FYI, are on the semester credit hour system.


Will an associate of science degree help you get an engineering degree?

Answer 1: An associate of science degree is a two-year, 60-semester-credit-hour, lower-division academic degree......a degree which is equal to the first two (freshman and sophomore) years of a four-year, 120-semester-credit-hour, lower- and upper-division bachelors degree. In other words, if you have a finished associated of science (AS) degree, then you would be able to transfer it in a bachelor of science (BS) degree, and begin said BS in the junior year, and complete the junior and senior years and end-up with not only the bachlors degree that you could put on your resume, but the earlier associates degree, too!An engineering degree is a bachelors degree... usually a bachelor of science degree. And a BS in engineering degree has a freshman and sophomore year, just like any other BS (or bachelor of arts (BA)) degree. Since the associates can function as the freshmand and sophomore years of a BS in engineering, then the answer, categorically, is "yes," of course an associate of science degree can help you get an engineering degree! An associate of science degree can, in fact, become the entire first half of a bachelor of science engineering degree!Just remember, though, that a BS in engineering contains a ton of math and science courses. If you're going to be properly prepared for that (and also if you want your associates to count as the full first two years of the bachelors, so that you don't have to do a little catching-up before you may enter said bachelors as a full junior), then your associates also has to contain a ton of math and science courses.But they need to be the right math and science courses. Not just any will do!So first figure out which bachelor of science in engineering degree you'd like to get; and then go to that school's website and download its "catalog" as a PDF file (or, if not available, then call the school and ask for a printed copy of the catalog to be sent to you in the US Mail). If you're considering several schools for the bachelors, then do the same for each school.In the catalog(s), you'll find the precise math, science, and all other kinds of courses that each BS in engineering degree will require. Notice the "lower division" (freshman and sophomore year) courses that each of those BS in engineering degrees require. As you're crafting your associates degree, simply make sure that you include all of those kinds of courses that the engineering bachelors degrees like to see their graduates take during the freshman and sophomore -- lower division -- years. That way, your associates degree will already meet or exceed the BS in engineering degree's lower-division requirements when you apply for said BS in engineering program.An associate of science (AS) degree already contains more math and science courses than an associate of arts (AA) degree. And the amount that your associates degree contains may already be enough to satisfy the engineering bachelors degree program. But don't take a chance that it won't. Definitely figure out what math and science (and other kinds of) courses the engineering bachelors program of your choice requires of its freshmen and sophomores, and then simply make sure that your associates includes them.


What is the difference between the university master's degree and college master's degree?

The words "college" versus "university" can be confusing......especially in the US, where they can mean different things, depending on the state and/or the school(s) in question.It would be nice if things in the US were more like they are in the UK, when it comes to the difference between "college" and "university." In the UK, the university is the large, overall institution; and then each of its constituent parts are called colleges... like the University of London system.And in that (University of London) system, there is no difference: a masters degree is a masters degree.Gratefully, despite the less-clear difference between "college" and "university" in the US, a masters degree, regardless which kind of institution issues it, is the same, from either. A masters degree is a masters degree. Period.In pretty much all cases, a "masters" degree consists of from, typically, 32 to 48 graduate semester credit hours, beyond a 120 undergraduate-semester-credit-hour "bachelors" degree.Though the credits are calculated differently in the UK, it's still the same: first a bachelors degree, and then a masters degree; and it matters, not, whether it's from a school that calls itself a "college," or one that calls itself a "university." In either case, it's post-secondary, graduate-level higher-education that's immediatelly beyond the post-secondary undergraduate bachelors degree.
