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.
The requirements would depend on the specific associate degree type (AA, AS, AAS) and the specific major. Each will have requirements particular to itself.
No but you will probably complete the requirements for an AA & maybe even a BA long before you achieve your masters.
The AA is not a professional degree. The professional degree are such as lawyer, medical doctor, etc..
If the degree is a transfer degree (the AA usually is), and you stay within the same major at the four year college or university, it should take an additional two years. However, if you change majors, then it could be quite different depending on the specific program of study and its requirements.
Yes, they can. How many will depend on your new major and its requirements. I would suggest you speak with a career counselor at the school you attend. Taking another AA degree may not be the best option for you for a number of reasons.
You'll need training at a vocational school, and AA degree, or even a Bachelor's degree. For more info on the requirements, I recommend this site: http://www.myplan.com/careers/structural-iron-and-steel-workers/requirements-47-2221.00.html
AA is Associate of Arts; AS is Associate of Science.
What college classes will have to be taken to get an AA degree in Business Management
yes, and Associates Degree (AA) is part of a post secondary education.
That would strictly depend on the specific program of study (major). Each major has requirements particular to itself.
Most 4 year colleges and universities will accept your AA units since they meet the general education requirements.
The time required to obtain an RN degree after earning an AA degree can vary. Typically, it takes about 2-3 years to complete an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program, which would then allow you to become a licensed RN. However, this timeframe can be shorter or longer depending on factors such as program requirements, course load, and any transfer credits that may be applicable to your previous AA degree.
