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 coursework 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 bases 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.

Can an associate's degree course take less than two years to complete?
By taking 15 to 18 semester credit hours per semester, plus 6 to 9 semester credit hours over the summer, you could graduate with an associates degree in less than two years. But the more you take per semester or summer session, the harder it is. Taking 18 semester credit hours per semester, plus any more than six semester credit hour per summer, can, for many students, mean pretty much no social life... just work, work, work... and sleep, of course. I don't recommend it!Figure it like this: An associates degree contains 60 semester credit hours. Most people take 15 semester credit hours per semester, then take the summers off, and by doing that, you graduate in two years......however, if you take 18 semester credit hours (one extra course) per semester, then that, right there, will leave you with just two courses left to take by mid-way through the second year. If you take those two courses during the summer sessions, then you could graduate with 60 semester credit hours in just a year and a half.The goal is to hit 60 semester credit hours (at three semester credit hours per course... so, then, in other words 20 courses for the entire associates degree) however fast you can. But, honestly, it starts to become really hard to do it in much less than a year-and-a-half.
How many college credits do In need to take in semster to be a full time student?
It depends on whether or not you're willing to take courses during the summer months.If you are, then you need to take a minimum of 12 semester credit hours during each semester, plus 6 semester credit hours during the summer, in order to earn 30 semester credit hours of coursework during each calendar year.And you need to complete 30 semester credit hours per calendar year if you intend to earn a 120-semester-credit-hour bachelors degree in four years.The other way to do it is to take 15 semester credit hours per semester, and then no courses during the summer months. That's what most students do... then they go home for the summer, or get a summer job... that sort of thing.In any case, bottom line: a minimum of 12 semester credit hours per semester, plus 6 over the summer, is needed in order to be considered a "full-time" student......either that, or 15 semester credit hours per semester, and no courses during the summer. Take your pick.Some students try to graduate early, and so will take 18 semester credit hours each semester; and then, depending on how early they want to graduate, they take either no courses, or 3 to 6 semester credit hours (one to two courses) during the summer. That's very rough, though; and I do notrecommend taking that kind of very heavey course load! Do not do it, unless you're really, really, really smart, and are used to pretty much having no social life!
