Hello!  Unfortunately, most degrees given in other countries will not 'transfer' to the US's requirements.  For example, we require classes such as History (usually US-based) speech communications, 1st and 2nd level writing courses, and 3 semesters of language before one can even acheive their bachelor's here!  But try anyway.  Depends on your experience, your education, and on you and your personal history.  I wish you luck.

Its called B.S and M.S in the US for undergrad and masters respectively (B.Sc and M.Sc in the UK). As far as my knowledge goes all B.Sc degrees in UK are 3 years. Unlike the US where the first year is spent studying subjects from other majors, in the UK students start studying courses from their respective major (for which they enrolled) right from the first day.\n\nUS grad. schools usually require 16 years of education (highschool + undergrad). Hence having a B.Sc from the UK may eliminate you from applying to some of them unless you are going to Cambridge, Oxford etc. which are well renouned.\n\nUS undergrad education is more well rounded and much tougher than UK's. This may differ based on what you want to major in, but overall for example in Engineering US education is way ahead!

An associates degree is a two year degree a Bachelors is a 4 year degree you would get paid more with a Bachelors than a Associates. How much it could be around $20000 more that an associates.

Institute you will go for less time (usualy) and you get some sort of degree or certificate accredited by that school. You also just focus on what you are there for, such as if its a photo school you will only do photo. University is four years, you get a diploma that is recognized by all of the colleges in the US, and employers. You learn all kinds of things besides what you are majoring it, which they call General Education.

An excellent question!\n\nAn Associate's degree is the next level above a high school diploma, and it takes about 2 years of study through an accredited Community College or some private institutions.\n\nA Bachelor's degree takes about 4 to 5 years, and can be earned at a 4-year university.  A Bachelor's is better than an Associate's.

A BA program generally lasts three years in the United Kingdom (except Scotland), New Zealand and Australia or four years in the United States and Canada. BA programs are increasingly taking about five (rather than four) years to complete in the USA because a student must enroll for more than 12 credit hours a semester (minimum full-time enrollment) in order to complete it in 4 years without summer classes; college students are increasingly choosing to work either full or part-time and stretch out their college education a bit more.

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.

I stand behind a 4-yr degree.  It is more reputable and gives you a well-rounded education with better selection for classes.

I'd imagine in the UK it does.  Doesn't mean much to people in the US - at least not anymore than a US degree.

That answer depends on what you take before grade school and after high school. Assuming you had Pre-School and you are going to a 4-year University for a BA, then you would have gone through 18 total years of school.\n\nHow to figure? Add the usual 1-12, Kindergarten (1 year), Pre-school (1 year), and either of the following:\n\n> Associate's Degree (2 years)\n> Bachelor's Degree  (2 Years)\n> Master's Degree    (4 Years)\n> Ph.D.              (6-8 years)

US universities require that you have the equivalent of a US bachelor's degree (4 years) for admission into a graduate program. Some Canadian universities do not require that you have 4 years, so either way you should qualify. Admission granting decisions depend on the university you have chosen to apply to - Some universities require test scores (TOEFL, GMAT, GRE), work experience, volunteer work, recommendations, essays and more. You need to do some research on admission requirements and prepare a strong application package. Good luck!

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.
