In the United States, you must have a bachelors degree (except for one exception) and then graduate from an American Bar Association approved Law School. Graduation from a Law School will provide you with a Juris Doctor which is a first degree in law: a professional doctorate (not equivalent to a PhD) . You must then pass the State's bar exam in which you expect to practice. To be admitted to law school in the first place, you must past the LSAT, or the Law School Admissions Test.

The highest degree in law is the Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.)

Can you skip getting you bachelors in psychology and go strsight for your masters in psychology?

To my knowledge, most M.A. programs require a bachelors degree as a prerequisite. However, I do know that you can be accepted into a Ph.D. or Psy.D program with only a bachelors degree and you can sometimes elect to get your Ph.D. without getting a "terminal" master's degree along the way.


How long does it take to earn a bachelors degree after earning an associates?

Well an associates degree is a two year degree while a bachelors is four. Not all major will transfer from an associates to a bachelors. For example you can get an associates in nursing and go on later to get your bachelors and it only be about two more years. But if you have an associates in nursing and you want a bachelors in business. You will pretty much have to start over and most likely only your prerequisites will count toward your new degree.

How long will it take to get your teaching degree if you have an associates in general studies?

This will strictly depend upon the college you are attending and what state it is in. Each state requires different courses to be taken and qualifications for graduation with a teaching degree. But if you can get graduate with a bachelors it shouldn't take you more than two years possibly plus another semester. But I know that at the University of Arkansas they require a masters degree in education. Where as in Texas they only require a bachelors. But at the University of Arkansas- Fort Smith you only have to have a bachelors degree.
