Hi, so I wasn’t sure where to put this but I just need help understanding a few things.
I am close to completing my associates degree at a CC and I will be transferring to a university. I was looking at the website and I was a little confused.
An associates degree is 2 years and a bachelors is 4 years, correct? For a bachelors degree is that an additional 4 years added to the 2 years it takes to get an associates degree? So, 6 years to complete an associates and bachelors degree? Or does the associates degree carry over to the bachelors degree so it takes 4 years to complete both?
Then, if you were to change your major after you get your associates degree, would you be starting a new associates degree or would it still go to a bachelors degree. Right now I’m majoring in Life Sciences. I am going to wait to change my major once I get my associates degree in Life Sciences. Then, I’m going to change my major to Web Design. Would I be able to get a bachelors degree in Web Design by doing that or would it change to me getting my associates degree for Web Design.
Last thing, if I were to change my major when I go to get my bachelors, would I have to complete all the courses required for that major? Like, would I have to start from the beginning as if I were trying to complete my associates degree?
I apologize if I don’t make much sense, I’m not sure how to explain or word the questions. Any help is appreciated, I am really stressed about college right now. I want to make sure I’m on the right track. I’m the first in my family to go to college so my parents can’t offer much help and my counselors didn’t offer much help either.
