These Degrees are accepted, but, as in any profession you will be competing with many individuals after the same position.  If one is a Graduate from a well known College, they may be looked at in a favorable light.  Also you should be aware, it can be difficult to impossible to transfer credits from the online course.  Be sure you read all the fine print.  Be sure that the course offers certification and not just the education.\n\nGood Luck, and Have a Great Day

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.

An Associate degree is a two year degree.  Some jobs only require this type of degree like LPN or medical assistant, some management positions etc.\n\nBS and BA are Bachelor's degrees, these are a four year degree. A BS stands for Bachelor of Science degree and BS stands for Bachelor of Arts Degree.  Although the titles are a bit different the only real difference between a BA and a BS is that a BA requires a foriegn language and BS doesn't.\n\nA Master's Degree is after the Bachelors. You can not pursue a Master's degree without a Bachelors.  Usually the Masters takes an additional two years of school past the four for a Bachelors and the classes are often offered in the evenings and part time since most people get a full time job with their Bachelor's and take their Master's courses around their schedule.\nA Phd is a Doctorate.  This is as high as you can go.  You have to have a Master's to pursue a Phd.  Most people take up to ten to twelve years to get their Phd degrees and in order to be awarded a Phd, the student must submit a "thesis" which is usually a very long, detailed report on the subject in which they are pursuing their degree.  Everyone that I know that has written a thesis has taken several years to complete it even though they were completely finished with their classes.

It depends on your goals. \n\nFor example, UMass Amherst, through their Stockbridge School, offers several associates degrees related to farming. Santafee Community College in Florida offers an associates degree in a program that trains you to work in a zoo. \n\nHowever, if you want to be a vet, you'll need a four year degree in a biologicial science, then you'll need to go to veterinary school.

Some schools do offer associates degrees in criminology and or criminal justice.   You could always work at police stations/jails as a  attendent (guarding the prisoners) and you won't need a degree..work for a while and they will pay you to go to school..  Check with your local jails/courthouses and ask them ..They would know more than we would..we don't know where you live or anything about that area.

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.

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.

I'm an academic advisor at a community college and the answer is yes, you can! However, it will be an assistant job of some sort but at least you can get your foot in the door. The more specific your degree, the better chance you have of getting a job directly related to psychology. For instance, we have a Human Services degree, as well as Alcohol/Drug and Mental Health Tech certificates. Students who get these degrees, opposed to our general psych associates, find more relevant jobs in the field. That's because these are Assoc. of Applied Science degrees, not Assoc. of Science like the psychology. I guess that's a round about way of saying, if you want to work in psych with just an associates, choose a career-specific degree. If you want to go onto receive your bachelors in psych, the associates in psych would be more appropriate. One last tidbit....check out this website: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ it's put together by the Dept. of Labor and you are able to search for just about any job you can think of and view salary, education requirements, job outlook etc. It's very helpful! Good luck!!

i pay my associate degrees less than bachelor degrees.  around $175/day for and associates and $275/day for bachelors.  also, if it comes down to hiring one vs the other, the bachelors degree wins 100% of the time.  \n\nand do you need an excuse to spend 2 more years in college?  the workin world sucks!  enjoy school if you get the chance.

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.

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.

There are also other options - You could get a bachelor's in general studies or humanities. You also mentioned that the IT industry is not for you, but what about other industries? A business degree can be applied to almost every industry and it also gives you the option of starting up your own company. It seems that your desire to go back to school and get your bachelor's is really what's driving you here and you should definitely go for it without thinking twice about it. A bachelor's degree in whatever area is something that employers look for and expect. I have seen successful corporate managers with bachelor degrees in arts or history. So, go back to school, talk to your counselor and don't worry about your major. If you find something you love, then that'll be great but meanwhile just look at this whole process as a self-discovery journey and an employment tool.
