You can do that, but it's not a double major.  The master's in law will have to follow the bachelor's.  As long as the master's is not getting a law degree designed for the bar exam, the whole run should take about 6-7 years so yes, it is longer and more expensive than a 4 year bachelors degree. A master's in anything is more advantageous than a bachelor's alone.  Be sure the two degrees complement each other though. I'm not sure how criminal justice and business law relate in the job market.

No.  An associates degree is a two year degree, effectively completing a freshman and sophomore year of a four year degree.  Regardless of how many AA degrees a person achieves, they have not progressed to the third, much less the fourth year of  the requirements for a BS or BA degree. If you want a BS or BA, you need a vision which includes financial planning (assistance has many forms now), balanced with your personal comittment to follow through.

I would vote for the Associates at the local community college if you do not want to spend the time for a Bachelor's Degree. The masters degree would assume you have completed a nursing degree or program diploma. However, there might be a program or two out there, and I noticed there is one called an accelerated program in Texas which would take you three years.

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.

In the UK, to get to the level that most employees look for, it's seven years, which is split in three part including a year's work-placement between Part I and Part II. Some friends of mine in the industy, have completed their MAsters in Architecture after their Bachelors degree and still got well sought after jobs.

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.

Most Associates degrees take 2 years and Bachelor's 4 if you take a full load of classes each term.  That said I don't think you have anything to lose by taking a program that allows  for credit transfer.  Even if you do not go right away for the 4 year degree you may be able to apply your course work to a 4 year degree in the future.  Most school will allow for transfer of credits from another school if it has been completed within the last 4 years.

Usually Associates degrees and Bachelors degrees are completed at different types of institutions.  There are a few exceptions but usually Associates degrees are completed at 2 year colleges such as Community Colleges and Bachelor's are completed at 4 year colleges (FIT in NYC does both in the field of fashion).  You might want to do the Associates first and then transfer to a 4 year college for the Bachelors.  Where you will look might depend on where you currently live and how willing or able you are to travel.  \n\nIf you are interested in New England you might want to look at Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island http://www.jwu.edu/, they offer culinary arts and a number of other interesting programs.  They also are one of the few universities that offer associates and bachelor's (also masters) degrees.  They have other campuses in FL and CO etc\n\nGood luck

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.
