Hi! I am a high school math teacher, so I can answer some of your question, but not all.  Why? It depends on the state that you live in.  ALL states require a bachelors degree in math education.  This is four years of math classes, general ed classes, and teacher preparation classes.  The math classes you take would be a full calculus sequence (3 or 4 calc classes), linear and abstract algebra, geometry, analysis, and a mix of some others such as math history or number theory (again, depending on the college you go to). Your final semester would be student teaching, where you pay your college tuition, and then you are placed in a junior high or high school classroom to practice teaching. Some states (NY for example) require a masters degree, which is two more years of college.  But you can do that after you have started teaching. I live in Utah, and we only need the four year degree.  Hope this helps!

rule of thumb for an associate's degree is 2 years and a bachelor's is 4 years.  If you have a number of courses that carry credit already (AP or IB courses, or college credits you have done already), you may be able to cut that 4 years down - also, if you can afford to take classes in the summer too, you may be able to finish a bachelors in 3 or possibly even 2 1/2 years, if you pass out of some classes too and take an overload each semester.\n\nMost colleges have pretty strict restrictions about this, though, so I would expect that 3 years be the minimum you'd shoot for, and 3 1/2 being more likely.

In the US:\n\nK-5: elementary school\n6-8: middle school (junior high)\n9-12: high school\n4 years undergraduate in a university \n4 + years in a graduate school (medical, law, business, etc)\ndoctoral (PhD)

If you're talking about a teacher's credential, it depends on where you live and what you want to teach.  In the US, if you want to teach in a public school, you need at least a 4 year degree.  Each state has different requirements after that.

Undergraduate coursework is usually completed at a four-year public and/or private institution of higher learning (a university).  As with most colleges and universities, you will be provided with the opportunity of earning a bachelors (4-year) and/or an associates (2-year) degree, and will have several disciplines to choose from (i.e. liberal arts and social sciences, natural sciences, etc.).  As mentioned before, earning a bachelors degree usually takes 4 years, but it can be done in 3.  My best friend's younger sister completed her undergraduate coursework in 3 years, and graduated with a 4.0 grade point average.  Do not think for one minute that it came easily, however.  While holding down a part-time job, she managed a full course load each semester and studied every chance she got.

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.

Firstly, it's a Bachelor's Degree and can be described as follows: A bachelor's degree is usually an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a course or major that generally lasts for three or four years.

Around 12 years.  It's not really a question of hours.\n\n______\nI'm pretty sure the minimum for an undergraduate degree is less than 4 years as most schools allow students to graduate in three should the accumlate a sufficient number of credits.\n\nI also believe that the average time to complete a PhD program is substantially higher than 3 years.  I base this on three main sources.  Firstly, of all the people I know how have PhD, I've not known anyone to have completed it in 3 years, or even 4.  Secondly, the Wikipedia article you cited states that the British eduation system is unusual in that it may allow students to obtain a PhD in "as little as three years," so I think it likely that three years is generally considered to be remarkably short.  Thirdly, I checked the websites of several schools and found all of them report average time to completion of a PhD program to be significantly greater than three years.\n\nhttp://www2.gsb.columbia.edu/doctoral/ (5 years)\nhttp://www.btny.purdue.edu/Pubs/Policy/TimeToDegree08-00.html (4 to 6 years)\nhttp://www.bcm.edu/mcb/program.html (5.53 years)\nhttp://www.yorku.ca/fes/programs/phd/phd_description.asp (5.5 years)\nhttp://www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/elementaryed/nav04.cfm?nav04=21298&nav03=14147&nav02=14144&nav01=14023 (4-5 years)\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=average+time+to+complete+PhD+program&spell=1 (5.3 years)\nhttp://www.mis.temple.edu/programs/Graduate/FAQ.htm (4+ years)\nhttp://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/graduate/PHDsummary.htm (5.5 years)\nhttp://www.math.uci.edu/graduate/phd.html (5-6 years)\nhttp://www.son.washington.edu/eo/phd.asp (4.5 years)\n\nI could go on, but I'm rather bored of copying web addresses and have a paper to write.\n\nNow unless I'm missing something (which I may be - as I mentioned my school uses a somewhat different system), an average of 30 contact hours per week simply doesn't make sense.  I determined that I attend classes 29 hours a week this term, and that is considered an overload at my school.  I think a normal courseload is closer to 15 to 20 contact hours per wek.

You need a college degre, which usually takes about 4 years.  You then go to medical school, which is another 4 years.  Then you have a residency, which varies depending on the program.  It can take 3-5 years.\nYou will need to take sciences classes to get into medical school.  Biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus are required by most medical schools.

The rest of your life. You will need a HEAVY background in mathematics and physics as well as Astronomy. Most high level astronomers do actually have a doctorate in the field, which is a 7-8 year degree. plus the mathematics and physics. You will be studying and learning the rest of your life.

Associates- takes 1-2 years, some include the LPN nursing degree, lab tech, surgery assistant, computer tech, EMT, childcare.  These degrees usually land low to middle paying jobs. \n\nBachelors- 3-5 years, you can get a bachelors degree in almost anything.  There are several that pay well, and most of them pay median to upper median salaries. \n\nMaster's- 1-2 yrs. after bachelor's, usually result in high paying jobs, for example, nurse practitioner or PA, college instructor in your field, researcher, etc. \n\nDoctorate-3-4 yrs after bachelor's degree, these degrees pay high salaries.
