Not necessarily, there will be credits that will transfer toward The Bachelor's degree. How many credits will transfer depends on the major you take at the four year institution. Typically, if you were to complete the associate degree in a transfer program, and you transfer to a four year college or university within the same program of study (major), then it would take an additional two years to complete the bachelor's degree. If not, then the institution you are transferring to, will pick apart those credits which are usable and disregarding those which are not. In any even, today completion is keen within most fields, thus it would be prudent to pursue the bachelor's degree regardless of the length of time.

What degree comes after an associates of the arts?

Well any degree really. If you decide to get a 4 year degree in a science field, find a major that either 1) interests you enough to see it through no matter what or 2) Perfectly matches the classes you took for the AAS so as to mean only 2 more years.


What kind of bachelor's degree can you get from an associates degree in arts?

You can pursue any bachelor's degree you want to. If you have completed an associates degree, the amount of courses that can be transferred from the associates degree will depend on which bachelor's degree you choose. Some associates degrees are fully transferable to a bachelor's within the same field. Others are very career oriented and do not transfer well, such as some associates of applied science degrees. Still, that depends on whether the college has articulation agreements with other four years colleges and universities. Do not choose a bachelor's degree solely on the amount of credits you can transfer, but because it will lead you to your overall career goals and objectives. It you you not have one, then you need to find your passion with vision. A clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. Once you have that, your path will become clear.

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.
