College Degrees?

Question

What is the order of college degress (e.g. Associate, Master, ect.) And how many years to accomplish each?

Answer 1

Associates (2 years), Bachelors (4 years), Masters (2-3 years, depending on program), Doctorate (2-4 years, depending on program), Juris Doctorate (Law, 3 to 4 years), M.D. (Medicine, 3-4 years not counting residency). These are just basic time settings not taking into account that some Associates/Bachelors/and graduate degrees can have joint programs to reduce the length of time for completion. Specialty degrees like M.Ed. (Masters of Education) can also differ upon the Bachelors or Masters program track.

Answer 2

Years to accomplish each degree is dependent on how fast one takes the requisite classes, but here is an average time and the order of each degree:

Associates: 2 years
Bachelor: 4 years
Masters 1-3 years, depending on the program
Doctorate: 3 plus years (this is contingent upon how quickly you are able to complete your dissertation if you are getting a Ph.D). There are other types of doctorates that would have varying requirements.

Answer 3

The order goes Associate (usually 2 years), Bachelors (usually 4 years), Maters, and Doctorate. The amount of time it will take to get each depends on what you are studying and how many courses you take a semester.
