i don't think there's a big difference between the two, the only difference is that applied associate degree have more units in comparison to associate degree. which means that the applied associate degree last longer than the associate degree.

It's EXTREMELY important to get a college degree if you want a decent job.  Today's job market is much more competitive than it has *ever* been.  Today, bachelor's degrees are the *standard* (whereas a generation ago, a high school diploma was) for a *decent* job.  For anything beyond a decent job (and by decent, I mean simply steady employment with enough pay to *just* get by), you'll need an advanced degree.

A two year college, such as a community college or Junior college will provide you with an Associates degree.\n\nA four year college or university provides you with a Bachelors degree.\n\nAfter you earn your Bachelors degree, you can then work on your Master's degree. \n\nYou can then go from your Master's degree to your Post Grad or Doctorates. (PHD or Juris <spelling??> Doctorates for Law.)\n\nHope it helps.  Happy school hunting!!

That depends on whether your getting an Associate's Degree or Bachelor's Degree. I'm currently going to nursing school and getting my Associate's which is 2 years (summer's off). The prerequisites took another year to complete. A Bachelor's Degree will take you at least 4 years.

A Bachelor's degree is just that, a 4 year degree and a Bachelor's degree with honors is the same thing but you get the degree at the top % of the graduating class.

You need to have a degree in Elementary Education (Early Childhood Education). 4 years of college to get a bachelors degree. If you want to get an associates degree, it's a 2 year course, but you can only help the teacher. The advantages are plentiful. If you love working with children, this would be ideal for you, but the income isn't as great as if you were to study Nursing or some other highly paid profession.

Go for the 4-year degree. In the meanwhile, get a job, part-time, with your associates.

Associates degree - 2 years\nBachelors degree - total of 4 years\nMasters degree - total of 6 years\nPhD degree - total of 8 years\n\nDo understand:\nCommunity colleges only offer associate degrees.  Universities only offer Bachelors, Masters and PhDs.  To get accepted into a associate or a bachelor program, you only need a primary school education.  And of course, to get accepted into a masters program (sometimes PhD programs), you must have a bachelors degree.  Most times you need a masters to get a accepted into a PhD, but sometimes, you only need a Bachelors degree - medical and law schools only require a bachelors degree to get accepted.\n\nThis is how american education system works.

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.

"'A bachelor's degree is called a bachelor's degree because it won't get you paid enough money to be able to afford to get married' -- Nick Wilson", but seriously:\n\n"The college degree is called a "Bachelor's" degree after the original meaning of bachelor, which was a young apprentice. Since the Bachelor's is the first degree issued, coming before a Master's or Doctor's degree, that first degree became known as a Bachelor's degree."

I just had this explained to me, too! Ok, a major is the actual degree, usually a 4 year degree. A minor is just a specialty. So like, you can Major in English, but minor in Shakespear. Things like that.

That would vary widely based on where you are, and what type of organization you work for (private vs. public hospital, insurance company, etc.)  Also, with an associate degree, you're not going to get far, you'll eventually need a bachelor's or even higher.

On a job application, etc. when the number of years of school is asked, a bachelor's degree is normally 16 yrs.... 12 yrs of primary education and 4 yrs of secondary education.  How long you took to get it is irrelevant as it is considered a 4 yr degree.\n\nSue
