Can you get an Associates then a Bachelors Degree?

Posted by Admin in Friday, July 30th 2010   5 comments already   

I was wondering if I achieve an associates degree in business at my local community college, could I then transfer and go for a bachelors degree in business, or is the associates completely overlooked, when attempting to get a bachelors?

For most schools, yes you should be able too. That is how my school works, except I’m going for computer science.

It depends on the school. Some will accept transferred credits, some won’t.

Normally, yes you can transfer your credits to the university, but you should check with the university to be sure that all your credits will apply. They will work with you between the 2 schools.

Good Luck!

Your preferred university has a degree plan for each degree major they offer. You must complete all the requirements outlined in their plan to graduate. That might mean that you earn the first part of the required courses at a community college. If you chose this option, the degree requirements do not change.

So to answer your question: You may have some courses overlooked, because those courses will not fulfill your university’s degree plan.

To avoid losing time and having to backtrack, plan ahead and take only the courses that will carryover to your bachelors degree.

Yes. In fact, you should get your associates first. College credits at the 100 and 200 level begin to expire in about 5 years. Degrees don’t expire. You should get the associates on the off-chance that something happens and you need to leave school for a while. You may need to retake one or two classes after a long break (mainly English/Math), but you won’t need to retake all of them.

And, in the business world, the associates isn’t completely overlooked.
