how many credits do you need to get a BA degree?

It depends on which school, which program you are in, and which term system you are in.  The credit system may also differ.\n\nBut for illustration:\nSuppose a regular class is 4 credits in a quarter system college.  And typically students take 3 - 4 classes per quarter, say 3.5.  There are 3 quarteres in a year (excluding summer).  It takes four years to graduate.  so...\n\n4 credits x 3.5 classes x 3 quarters x 4 years = 168 credits.\n\nI would check with your student counselor for your situation.

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.

for an AA, 2 years, for a BA, 4 years, for an MS 6 years, for a PhD, 7 years.

It's about the same as an associates degree. If you buckle down and take maximum credits, you can get it done in a year including the summer. That is quite difficult to do, so it generally takes 2 years in addition to the 4 for a bachelor's degree.

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.

An undergraduate degree (sometimes called a first degree or simply a degree) is the most common and lowest academic degree available and is normally studied at a higher education institution, such as a university. \n\nOnce you have obtained this degree Associates, Bachalor Etc . you can go for your Graduate degree such as...Masters, PhD Etc.\n\nHope this helps.

Associates is a 2 year degree and bachelors is a 4 year degree

If you go part-time you will be taking 2 classes per semester (fall and spring) and possibly 1 class during the summer. That results in 5 classes per year. Let's assume that you get 3 credits per class - that comes to a total of 15 credits per year. So, it will probably take 4 years for you to finish your associates degree.

Undergraduate students do not yet have a four-year college degree (like a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science).\n\nGraduate students do. They're working on master's degrees, law or medical degrees, or doctorates, for example.\n\nStudents with a four year degree who are taking classes but not working towards a particular degree are called post-baccalaureate students

Well, in chemistry, the difference between a BA and a BS is math courses....the BS has more.  Probably something similar in Business admin.

To my knowledge all accredited law schools in the US require a four year college degree, but that could be a B.S., it doesn't have to be a BA.

BA would be a bachelor of the ARTS, and would probably focus more on the theoretical or conceptual.\n\nBS would be bachelor of SCIENCE, and would focus more on the actual applications and reasoning.

A BFA is a performance degree, and it means that you have attained some skills in a medium of some kind--art, theatre, literature.\n\nA BA is a traditional bachelors degree that involves a core of liberal arts work plus a major area of study.

An Associate of Arts degree is built around a two-year degree plan. You can typically take a heavier load of courses and finish the degree in less than two years, if you have the finances and schedule to allow it. Taking summer classes, weekend classes, and mini-mesters (usually 5-week long courses) can also shorten the time to complete the degree. Check online course catalogs and class schedules for more information.

It depends on the State.  I know in CA you have to get a special Certificate from a University (above and beyond a BA).

Depends on what you want to do with your life. Nothing wrong with a BA, but a BA in combination with an MBA is a strong basis from which to work in many fields.\n\nIn many fields a good MBA means a promotion and pay raise (management, finance, etc). There has been some concern that there are too many MBAs, but the MBA is still de rigour for management in larger companies.\n\nOne suggestion that I have is to go to as prestigious a college as you can to get your MBA. The big firms do pay some attention to where you get your degree. Get your degree from an AACSB accredited program http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/.\n\nHope this helps!
