An Associates degree is offered more so at community and junior colleges and generally takes two years - it's less specialized and more based on liberal arts.\n\nA Bachelors degree generally takes two more years to aquire and is more specialized in a specific field. It isn't offered at Junior or community colleges and you are required to take the similar liberal arts courses.\n\nYou need a BA to obtain a Masters degree.

The units from the school where you received your Associates degree should transfer to the school you want to get your Bachelor's degree from.

Personally I would go get the Associates degree. Call it the bird in the hand syndrome ...\n\nWhen I interview folks, I really don't take path to a degree into account. You are either qualified or you are not. in the interim, it is nice to have a piece of paper formally signifying your accomplishments. You never know if something unexpected will arise that may further delay your Bachelor's degree.

Most colleges and Universities have Associate degrees,\nbut nowadays, it's not woth much, as a 4 year degree is equivalant to what a high shool degree was 10 or 15 years ago.  That is because a lot more people are getting to college.

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.

From a degreed HR persons point of view, an associates is barely worth the paper it is printed on.\n\nYou would be better off earning the credit hours but transfering to a 4 year school and listing the 4 year school with "pursuing Bachelors" even if you take 20 years.

Yes, get the Masters. Corporate America is treating a BA or BS as they treated High school diplomas 5 years ago. If you want doors to open, get the masters degree. It won't matter if you have been working in the field or not, someone will want to take a shot with you.

Yes, you can, but watch out.  I took my first four years at a community college, trying to decide on a major, and accumulated over 100 hours and an associates degree.  When I went for a bachelors degree in architecture, I was allowed to transfer all 100+ hours but only English, math and elective classes actually counted toward my BA.  All the other classes counted as my elective classes but not toward my degree in any meaningful way.  I was, however, allowed to enter the college in a transfer program which allowed me to condense the first two years of study into one.  That is not a fun alternative, trust me.  I suggest selecting an accredited (that's an important term, BTW) college of architecture and calling them to see about transferring hours toward a bachelors or masters degree in architecture.  Each college is different.  Some classes will usually be accepted, but I don't think you'll find a college that will count all toward your BA.  In architecture, it usually takes five years to get a degree.  Two years to get the basics, build up a portfolio and get accepted into the architectural program, and three years of learning the architectural field.  Most people in the college I went to did not make it past the first two years and less than a third of those made it to graduation.  It is a hard, but rewarding field.  Look carefully at what each school will do for you and look carefully at the school's credentials.  Good luck!

Get the Associate's... that way you will have a more rounded educations AND more transfer credit's if you choose to continue college later on... believe it or not, even those courses you take that seem to have nothing to do with being a Medical Office Assistant will help you in the long run!

Yes, you can use the degree if it is from an accredited and recognized university.  These days, many univerisities are offerring online programs, so it should not be too hard to find one that is suitable for your program of choice.  I know several people who have taken online bachelor degree and masters programs who are doing quite well in their fields.

You are a college graduate if you have a degree.  It doesn't matter if it's an associates , bachelor's, masters, whatever.

okay, just as long as you have your associates degree, your credits should transfer to wheatever school you want. However, you must be at a credited community college. The best thing to do is to call and check with the admissions department at the four year school you want to tranfer at, in the other state.

It depends on where you live, Community colleges, and the best route. However, there are also private colleges that offer associates degrees, and others that you can complete on-line. If you live in Pa try Central Pennsylvania College, you can get an associates from them in 18 months.

I am in school right now for this. I am getting an associates in Paralegal (2 years), but then I am transferring to a four year program. You can get a job with the two year, but most employers prefer the four year ones I think. Also, most employers prefer experience over education.
