How long does it take to earn an associates degree?

If you go to school full time (at least 15 credits per semester), you can complete your degree in two years. However, the average amount of time it takes to complete an associates degree in the U.S. attending school part time is six years.

Though associate's degree are two-year programs, it will take longer if basic skills courses are needed. Most colleges and universities require all incoming students who are entering a program of study be tested for basic skills. The test is broken down into four parts: sentence sense(grammar), reading comprehension, math computation, and elementary algebra. If a student does not meet the minimum score requirement in any of these areas, they are required to take non-credit refresher courses that must meet state requirements. Thus, it is possible that some students may have up to one academic year just in remedial courses before entering the college level courses. Then again, it could be a mixture of both remedial and college level. There are some exemptions from basic skills testing like high SAT scores, but the student should ask for the list of exemptions. The testing is to ensure that students are appropriately prepared to handle the college level courses successfully.

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. 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 course work 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 based 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. Associates Degrees

Here is more input:

  • Typically two of full time study. Full time study is generally, 12 to 15 credits per semester. It depends on the college. Most schools have a course sequence chart on-line.
  • AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE REQUIRES TWO (2) YEARS OF COMMUNITY/JUNIOR COLLEGE: Community (aka Junior) Colleges offer Associate Degrees after successful completion of a TWO (2) YEAR curriculum. Some curricula may vary from the two year standard due to the particular field of study.

Is A level ucas points a combination of 2 AS grades ie a C at AS but B at A2 would only be 90 or is it 100 like it states?

UCAS Points refelct a final grade. In the UK, if you take an AS and then carry it on to A Level, you carry the points over, and at the end of the second year the two grades are combined to form one A Level. If you decide to not carry a subject on at A Level, you "cash in" the points, and simply receive an AS Level, equivilent to half an A Level.

So if you recived a B at AS Level, but carried the subject on to A Level, you would not receive the AS Level, but would receive the A Level at the end of your second year, as a combination of the two years marks.

You can then convert the correct number of UCAS points for each full A Level, or AS Level

eg

A at A Level = 120 Points

A at AS = 60 points (An AS is worth 50% of an A Level - easy!)

I personally believe that we Sri Lankans have many lessons to be learnt from economically strong fellow Asian nations. Korean economy in this regard has many lessons to offer and most of them could be adopted for the Sri Lankan situation where an open economy operates with certain government controls since 1977. One of the main objectives of the MKE program is to enhance the understanding of the Korean economy and this I hope would help me to achieve the aim of learning lessons from the Korean economy to improve the Sri Lankan economy in whatever possible way for a person of my caliber.

The post conflict Sri Lankan economy is expanding and I am of the opinion that there is a severe shortage of trained labor to supply the increasing demands of the economy. In such a situation, the importance and relevance of anyone who is qualified with a master's program similar to the MKE would surely have an advantage in the national level quest to find answers for problems cropping up in new economic situations.

I am highly motivated and consider this as a rare opportunity for me, my ministry and the country offered by the Korean government and I hope to make use of this to the fullest. The degree program offered by the Graduate School of Pan-Pacific International Studies of the KOICA-Kyung Hee University seems to be the ideal and perfect opportunity that suits my aspirations in improving my knowledge, expertise and skills which could be converted into realization of my personal goals as well as the objective of making a better contribution for my country's development aims.
