A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year, which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is design to be a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study in the prescribed manner. The minimum full-time student registers for a credit load of no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. In addition, there are some colleges and universities that offer accelerated programs of study. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the Bachelors and Associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees with the Masters and Doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

Whether online graduate school is a good idea or not depends on factors such as your time availability and what you want to do with your graduate degree. For example, online graduate school provides more flexibility. You do not have to meet in a classroom every week and you can work and study whenever your time suits you. Try taking a free online education assessment tool (link below) to find out if an online graduate school is a good idea for you.

Some people worry about the reputation of an online degree. Knowledge is more important than just the reputation of the school, but make sure that the school is accredited.

I think you meant "cosmetologist."

No, a 4-year college degree is not required, but normally you do have to complete a training course and receive certification from your state. The requirements depend on the state. In California, cosmetologists must complete 1600 hours of training and pass both a written and a practical exam in order to be certified to practice in the state.

It varies from state to state, but this comes from the California Employment Developments website:

The Commission on Teacher Credentialing establishes the requirements for

a credential to teach special education in California public schools:

-- BA degree

-- Prerequisite Regular Teaching Credential

-- Special Education Teacher Preparation Program, including Student Teaching

Special Education Teachers can specialize and obtain credentials in

Learning, Severely, Communications, Visually Impaired, and Physically

Handicapped. Special Education training consists of a fifth year of study

after a bachelor's is earned. Credentials are renewed every five years.

Teachers must take 150 hours of continuing education and meet the service

requirement of teaching at least one semester to renew their credential.

In addition to teaching ability, Special Education Teachers need an extra

measure of enthusiasm, optimism, patience, tolerance, and persistence.

Yes, however typically you will have to go for a bachelors degree first. But there are a few known exceptions to the traditional education paths. It really depends on the schools acceptance of the associates degree to pursue the masters.

The following is assuming the doctorate is a PhD.

Joseph Williams M.B.A., PhD. However, many individuals only list the highest level of educational attainment, unless there is a necessity to indicate both, which could be determined by ones position within a specific organization. Listing both in many cases is just an overkill.

Since 2000, all coleges of pharmacu have been required to offer only a single-level entry doctorate degree in Pharmacy which takes 6 years to complete. Internship is done concurrently with the academic requirements. Additional residencies are still optional, and may tale 1-2 years to complete.

It depends on the program of study, whether the individual is full-time or part-time, the credit load carried per semester, the sequential order of courses and the students alignment to them, etc. Typically, a masters can take between, two and three years to complete. Still, there are some programs of study at this level that can take a bit longer.

You can obtain this information by going to www.collegeboard.com/splash/ and using the sites College MatchMaker search engine, or you can also click on the related links section (College Board) indicated below this answer box, which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them etc. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, room and board, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation (most important). Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

It depends on the subject and degree programs offered by each university. Some programs allow one to move directly from a bachlors degree into a doctorate program while others require a masters degree first.

Technically speaking, anyone can "prescribe" medication ("You should take some aspirin"). Whether it is legally permissible for a pharmacist to fill that prescription or not is a different issue.

In general, "prescription medications" can only be dispensed if the prescription was written by a physician (a medical doctor or a doctor of osteopathy). In many jurisdictions other degrees confer limited prescribing powers... for example, a dentist (doctor of dental surgery) is usually permitted to prescribe painkillers and antibiotics.

Nowhere that I know of is the prescription of someone with a masters of science degree and no other qualifications treated any differently, legally, than one written by a high school dropout.

OD interventions are sets of structured activities in which selected organisational units (target groups or individuals) engage in a task or sequence of tasks with the goals of organisational improvement and individual development.

It is possible, however it is not typically the best idea. In an effort to take giant steps, many individuals wind up moving backwards. Personally I believe you should list your priorities and focus on a primary goal. Once finished, you can always go on to tackle a new one. Still, this is just a personal opinion, but it is based on experience and observation over my 26 years in higher education.

Absolutely! My undergraduate work is in psychology, but my masters is in organizational management. If you do not have the appropriate prerequisites for the masters program of your choice, you may have to complete them at the undergraduate level if you have not already done so. Still, some graduate work may not have prerequisites. Thus, you can choose a masters within a different field than your bachelors work.

There are no standard tuition and fee rates for colleges and universities. Each institution will have rates particular to itself. There are a number of variables to consider to include whether the institution is public or private, the geographical location, the specific program of study (some of which have greater course and/or clinical fees), and whether the school is a two year or four year institution. Once you collect the names of some colleges and universities you have an interest in, you can then research the cost specific to those institutions.

Many colleges require admission essay(s). All schools that are members of the Common Application require a basic essay of 250 words or more. Many times, colleges will individually require a supplement essay or other short answer type questions. Some state universities do not require you write an admission essay.

There's no specific time frame. There are three degrees in the Masonic Blue Lodge: Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master. Once you obtain all three you're a Master Mason. In principle, it could be done in a day, but it normally takes several months to a year.

A surgeon needs 4 years of undergraduate college (usually), 4 years in medical school and a five year residency in general surgery. now, if you plan on a specialty in surgery then you are looking at another 2-6 years, depending on the specialty (with neurosurgery taking the most time).

The associates and bachelor's degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees. The master's and doctorate degrees are referred to as graduate degrees. Thus, the following.

1. Associate's degree (chiefly in the United States of America) or Foundation degree (in the UK)

Usually two years (20 courses or 60 semester credit-hours); often an intermediate degree before finishing Bachelor's. In the UK, a foundation degree is typically 240 credits (whereas a full Bachelor with honors is 360 credits).

2. Bachelor's degrees (undergraduate degrees; first degrees).

Usually three or four years (40 courses or 120 semester credit-hours); in a few cases, a degree called "bachelor" is in fact a postgraduate degree - see, for example, Bachelor of Civil Law, Bachelor of Philosophy. An Honors Bachelor's degree may be conferred upon those completing a four-year program, to differentiate it from a three-year Bachelor's.

3. Master's degrees

These are sometimes placed in a further hierarchy, starting with degrees such as the Master of Arts and Master of Science, then Master of Philosophy, and finally Master of Letters. In many fields such as clinical social work, or library science in North America, a Master's is the terminal degree. Typically, the master's degree can take between two and three years to complete depending on the program of study.

4. First Professional degrees

First professional degrees are required for professional licensure or entrance to a specific career. These degrees require a bachelor's degree for admission into the program, followed by three to four years of specialized study. Graduates in some cases are called doctor and the degree program sometimes includes the word doctor.

5. Doctorates

These are often further divided into academic and professional doctorates.

An academic doctorate can be awarded as a Ph.D. (Philosophy Doctor), or as a DSc (Scientiae Doctor). The scientiae doctor degree can be also be awarded in specific fields, such as a Dr.sc.math (Doctor scientiarum mathematicarum, Doctor of Mathematics), Dr.sc.agr. (Doctor scientiarum agrariarum, Doctor of Agricultural science), etc. In Europe, doctorates are divided into the Ph.D. or 'junior doctorate', and the 'higher doctorates' such as the DSc, which is generally awarded to highly distinguished professors. A doctorate is the terminal degree in most fields. In the United States, there is little distinction between a Ph.D. and D.Sc.
