If you have an associate degree how long will it take you to get a bachelor's degree?

Answer 1

It depends upon a few factors. An associate degress is usually the equivelent of 2 yrs of college course work (frequently at the Jr College level). Usually some or all of this coursework may be applied towards the completion of a bachelors degree. You could conceivably get credited with as much as two years worth of course work towards a 4 year bachelor degree.Considerations entering into a determination on the amount of credit received towards a bachelor degree include the following:1) How closely related is the Associate Degree to The Bachelor degree you are seeking? For example if you have an Associate degree in Veternary technology, you may get more credit towards a bachelors degree in Zoology that you would towards a degree in Literature.2) How much time has elapsed since you achieved your Associate degree? If more than 2 years has gone by, you will probably not get as much credit for the work you did pursuing your Associate degree.3) Where did you get your Associate degree verses where you want to get your Bachelor degree. Often it is easier to transfer credits within the same institution or system (within the same state college system). This is especially true for private schools where they are not incented to accept work done at other schools; they would rather 'sell' you all of the education units you need.

Answer 2
