You do not need an associates degree to get a bachelors, one is just more extensive than the other. If I were you, I would go straight for the bachelors.
It is always better to get the bachelors degree rather than the associates degree. Yes, it might be more school but that also mean more knowledge in Social Work. Also, with the more knowledge that you have they higher your pay will be.
Yes you can. There are many individuals who have more than one academic degree in related areas.
If there is an urgency to get out into the workforce as soon as possible, a community college is a great place to start. At the community college you can acquire an associates degree as a registered nurse much sooner than attempting a bachelors in nursing. However, I would consider continuing on for the bachelors after the associates degree. The higher the degree the more opportunities that will be open to you. If your home county community college does not offer a registered nurse degree, try some of the surrounding counties.
An MA is a Master of Arts and BS is a Bachelors of Science. The Masters degree requires a higher level of education than a Bachelor degree does.
An associate is normally a two year undergraduate program. A masters is a upper level graduate program. The normal degree path is associates (if you attend a two year program, but not necessary as one can earn a Bachelors without an associates), Bachelors (via a four year program), Masters, then Doctorate.
It depends on your definition of an advanced degree. Typically, graduate work is considered advance course work. However, a bachelors is more advanced than an associates, a masters degree is more advanced than a bachelors, and a doctorate is more advanced than a masters.
No.It goes like this...Nursery or pre-school; then,Kindergarten; then,Elementary school; then,Middle school; then,High school; then,Undergraduate school, for an associates and/or bachelors; then,Graduate school, for a masters; then,More graduate school for a doctorate; then, optionally,Post-graduate work.That's the order of things.
Yes. The simple answer is YES. As a general rule, it's better to get a Master's degree than just a Bachelor's degree. Of course, it's usually even better to get a Doctorate than just Master's & Bachelor's degrees. And just think, you get to stay in college longer too. Three, maybe four more years of halcyon days midst Elysian Fields, sharing ambrosia,wine, song and love on the campus of dear old Alma Mater and ...well, you get the point. Again, the simple answer is YES. As a general rule. In a surprising and somber commentary on the tragedy of poor souls who try their turn at bat in life using only a Bachelor's Degree in social work as a recommendation or credential, the original answerer of this question notes below: A bachelors in social work is pretty much useless except as a general education. If you intend to do any real social work you will need the masters degree. Answer: All of the above are great observations. If you are interested in non-clinical areas like organizing or administration, a Master's is less critical. In most states, you need a Master's to qualify for an independent, or "clinical" license. I would LOVE to have a PhD, but the truth is that (at least in the New England area) a PhD in Social Work doesn't increase one's imbursement rate from 3rd party payers by a single cent. So, unless you want to enter academia, a PhD would be quite an investment of resources with not much of a practical return.
The time it takes to complete a bachelor's degree after earning an associate's degree varies depending on several factors, such as the number of credit hours transferred, the specific program requirements, and the student's course load. On average, it may take an additional 2-3 years to complete the bachelor's degree after earning an associate's degree. However, individual circumstances may result in shorter or longer completion times.
