Typically, 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. However, because of the intensity of a program in nursing, and the prerequisites required, this program of study will usually take longer. I would say approximately two and a half to three years to complete if all goes well. It is strongly recommended that the student completes all general education courses (especially the science courses) first before going on to the professional phase courses in nursing. It is a very intensive program, so when a student moves into the professional phase, nursing should be the only subject matter to concentrate on.

Well an associates degree is a two year degree while a bachelors is four. Not all major will transfer from an associates to a bachelors.
