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.

By dermatology assistant, I assume you're referring to a dermatology medical assistant. If you are referring to a dermatology Physician Assistant, that is a Masters degree in PA studies, and then you generally need years of work experience under the guidance of a supervising dermatologist.To be a dermatology medical assistant, you first need your medical assistant training through a local trade school or community college. These programs focus on general medical practice, but not specifically dermatology. If you are then hired in a dermatology practice, you need to learn the skills specific the specialty, and often within 6 months or so you should feel pretty comfortable in the field.
