Average time would be 4 to 5 years after high school.  Faster than that would be very difficult unless you are a super student and devote all your time to it and have no other life.

You would need to complete a 4 year bachelor's degree with biology, chemistry, physics, calculus courses, among others. \n\n4 years of medical school consists of two years being spent in basic sciences, and two years spent in a clinical setting (internships/rotations).  \n\nAfter achieving a medical degree, graduates go on to complete 3-5 year residencies (the length is determined by the type of residency, for example, internal medicine is usually three years while a specialization such as pediatrics is five or more years). \n\nTo further specialize, you would need to complete special residencies which can take several more years.\n\nSo, 4 years of college + 4 years of medical school + 5 (or more) years of residencies = 13+ years

it goes like this: you need a bachelors (which usually takes about 4 years) to get a masters. the masters programs usually are another 2 years and are more expensive than the bachelors programs were.

MEDICAL (MOLECULAR) SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAM & CURRICULUM\n\nThe MD/PhD combined degree program generally takes approximately 7 to 8 years to complete. The PhD thesis is usually defended during the fifth or sixth year, while the MD is awarded upon graduation from the program. What follows is a description of the course of study on a year-by-year basis.\n\n(assuming four-year Ph.D. phase, which may not be the case for all students) \nYear 1 \nUniversity Program (M.D.) Year 1 Ph.D. coursework and laboratory rotations \nYear 2 \nUniversity Program (M.D.) Year 2 Ph.D. coursework and laboratory rotations \nYears 3 to 6 \nPh.D. research and thesis preparation MSTP clinical tutorial (optional) \nYear 7 \nUniversity Program (M.D.) Year 3 \nYear 8 \nUniversity Program (M.D.) Year 4 \n\n&#92;&#92;&#92;Starting Salary 67,000

4 years of college for a BS in Chem or Bio \n\nThen you need to get a masters in Forensics - I'm not sure how long that takes. Another 4-5 years maybe?

Associates: 2 years\nBachelors: 4 years\nMasters: 5 to 6 years\nPhD: 6 to 8 years\n\nNote that this is cumulative (ie, a PhD is usually 2 years after the Master's, which is 1 year after the Bachelor's, which is 2 years after the Associates, which takes 2 years).\n\nIt may take longer depending on whatever internships or practicuum are required by your course of study.

AS degree must be an Associates Degree which generally takes two years to complete.\nBA is a Bachelor of Arts Degree and would generally take four years to complete.  A BS Degree is a Bachelor of Science degree which is the same as a BA except you take different courses such as two years of a foreign language instead of a statistics class.\n\nA Masters degree is obtained once you receive a BA or BS in a subject such as English, Political Science, Biology, Social Science, Psychology, etc.  A Masters Degree generally takes two years to complete, during which you do research on a topic of interest to you for presentation.\n\nPhD. requires another two plus years and involves writing a doctoral dissertation and presenting it to the university for review and certification.  I am sure there are many more requirements that I am unaware of as I only recently received my BS in Social Science myself.

I have a Bio degree & totally agree. I got it 10 years ago, but am sure the load is as heavy. I definitely needed a support group!\nI had to take a couple levels of physics & chemistry as requirements & believe that all of them were hard, time consuming & draining.  \n\nHang in there, though because it'll feel awesome when you're finally done.

Sometimes a person may have a 2 year degree from a community college that is an applied science degree and if they work on their bs degree, they will receive a bs in applied science, because they already had a 2 year degree but not the required 2 years of general education courses one has to have.  A person who does not have an applied science degree in social scienes would receive a bs in social sciences, while a person who does have an applied science degree in social sciences would receive a bs of applied science in social sciences.

Excellent choice! The first thing you need to do is locate universities that offer this course. Choose a warm climate school that employs some of the best researchers in the world and funds field research continuously. Plan on Eight years of university to earn your doctorate degree in marine biology. You will be exposed to some very interesting work and research, not to mention the adventure! You will need to become a certified diver, have sound knowledge of the plant and animal life in the ocean's of the world. once in school attach yourself to the team that has lots of field research, do the work asked of you and you will have some of the most brilliant and life changing experiences you could ever imagine.

You may want to start with Biology. You can also go on school websites and look at a list of courses you need to take for that field.

a bachelors degree is what you earn once you have completed college. a law degree is what you obtain at a speacialty graduate school. there are different levels of degrees that tell how far along in school you went.\nassociates degree-2 years college\nbachelors degree-4 years college\nmasters degree-6 years total (4 college, 2 graduate)\nand there are also others that take longer like a phd.

I too have a BS in Biology and had trouble getting a job for a little while in research.  You should really try to find out why you didn't get the job from the companies that you interviewed with or applied to.  Hopefully they are honest.  It could be deficiencies in your work experience (I know how hard it is to get experience when they all require experience!).\n\nI found that a BS in biology may not get you far.  Some companies have glass ceilings for certain degrees.  \n\nI taught high school biology for seven years (had to get a credential and that sucks).  I loved many aspects of it but wasn't willing to live with others.  I applied to 40 medical schools and got denied at everyone because of a low GPA.  Got into a special masters program this year and am hoping to get accepted for next fall.\n\nYou really need to look into yourself and find out what you want to do.  It took me till I was 29 to find this out.

without a college degree, I doubt you will find a job in the biology field. people graduate college with biology degrees and still have trouble finding jobs. If possible, you should try to continue your education. \nIf University is not for you. try a junior college with a traning program. get certified as a lab tech, phamacy tech. and so on. Though becoming a doctor is nice too.\nThen the bio and math will come in handy. And higher education will show you more in these fields
