Bachelor's degrees can only be obtained from universities and 4-year colleges. Junior colleges usually grant Associate's degrees and certificates.

The vast majority of legitimate junior colleges offer only Associate degrees -- commonly called a "2-year" degree.
A "real" Bachelor's degree, commonly called a "4-year" degree, is offered only by a university or college with 4-year programs.

You can get a bachelor's degree from places that have less than 4-year programs...some of these give credit for "work experience" or "life experience," but they don't carry the weight of a 4-year bachelor's degree from a fully accredited university.

I would check with your local community college to see if they offer anything like a 2+2 program. They let you take the first two years of studies at junior college and then transfer to a university for the remaining two years to complete your Bachelor's. This can save you big bucks as you are only paying university tuition for two years instead of four. Even if your community college does not have a program like this, most state universities would apply the credits you earned getting your Associate's degree toward your undergraduate studies.

Bachelor degrees can only be given at a 4 year college. Junior colleges are typically 2 year and can only give out 2 year degrees - associates.

If it's a community college the highest degree you can get is an AA or AS, no Bachelors. You have to go to a University to get a Bachelors Degree.
