Q: Does 150 credit hours from 2 bachelor degrees enable you to sit for the CPA exam and become licensed?
If you have a bachelor's in Business Management and a bachelor's in Accounting for a total of 150 credits, can you become a licensed CPA? Or do you have to have a masters degree?

A: It depends on the state. You can check the CPA requirements online for every state. My school told me you had to have 30 credit hours in specific accounting courses and 150 credits. My schools program is 27 credit hours. My school's way of getting you to go into the masters program, however some business classes meet the accounting credit policy. I am a double major too. I'm not doing my MSA. I may do an MBA in 2 or 3 years to be more rounded.

Q: Why do some people with bachelor degrees sometimes work in fast food? Is it really not what you kno but who?
Does a degree really not get you anywhere these days? I'm about to get my bachelor's in African American Studies, what type of jobs can I get with that unless i go to grad school or law school?

A: Some degrees are for getting good jobs, others are only for preparing you for more advanced degrees. You have chosen the latter. I also chose the latter when I was in college. Since I was not well-connected, I ended up settling for a low-wage entry level office job, but things improved quickly after that. Fortunately, once your foot is in the door a college degree of any type can potentially help you crawl your way to a better job and better pay. Hopefully your degree has enabled you to learn how to learn...that is what can set people apart in the workplace. You may have to set your expectations low at first, but if you have truly "learned to learn" in your undergraduate studies, you can soon rise to something better.

Q: How do people get bachelor degrees?
Hi. I have to admit that I have no idea about the college system. And my little English will prevent me from asking directly to counselors. Would you please tell me how to get a bachelor degree in college? Is it just to complete all the courses required by that degree (for an example, a Computer Science bachelor degree)? How do I know what those courses are? Anything else I need to know? If you know any step-by-step websites, I will be very happy when you share it to me. Thank you very much.

A: A bachelor's degree is a degree that you get from a college, preferably accredited, after usually 4 years of college. First of all, and this is not to insult you, but seeing as how you admit that you're not very good at English yet, you shouldn't be surprised that I don't think you can get in a 4-year college. Most 4-year college has some sort of application procedure that will weed out undesirables and if you don't have even a basic grasp of English, not even enough to speak to a counselor, I would bet you're not going to get in. Of course, there are for-profit organizations such as ITT Tech and University of Phoenix who'll take anyone who has the cash, but that is a fairly expensive alternative. I would recommend going to a two-year college first and brush up on your English there. Two-year colleges are usually MUCH cheaper than 4-year colleges and tend to accept just about everyone! Of course, once you finish your two years you can TRANSFER to a 4-year college and pursue a major, letting you graduate with a bachelor's degree. As for your questions: 1. Bachelor's degree is pretty much what colleges give out, so if you attend a 4-year college, you will likely end up with a degree (with course planning, of course) 2. Most colleges will require core classes that are not necessarily related to your major such as English, History, and Math. In fact, you may not even take any courses related to your major until your junior year. 3. Before you take all your courses you are told which courses are required. You are handed a catalog, which is a booklet that contains all the courses you can take, and a piece of paper. You write down your desired courses (Even though there are required courses, such requirements can be met by different classes. E.g. English requirement can be met by either Literature 101 or Creative Writing 102; something along those lines), you send it to your counselor who will look over and approve it if it's adequate. 4. If you need help planning your courses, talk to your counselor! It is essential that you are taking the right classes so you can finish on time. If you take summer courses you might even graduate a semester early!

Q: Can a person have two bachelor degrees?
Lets say I go to a university after high school and get a bachelors degree in biology. Then I go do something else (Doesn't matter really) and then go back to school to get a bachelor's degree in another area other than biology. Is that possible? Would both bachelor's degrees be valid and what not?

A: Yes, this is possible. But I don't see why you would.... think of it as going back and earning your high school diploma..... again. A second bachelors degree isn't likely going to earn you more money..... you want to go UP in your educational levels... go for a Master's instead. Your Masters doesn't have to be in the same area as your Bachelors and people with Masters earn more than people with Bachelors. Good luck.

Q: What's the difference between graduate, undergraduate, bachelor degrees?
Hi: I want to know what's the difference between this degrees. I want the highest but I don't which one is it. I'll be glad if someone could help me. Thanks

A: An undergraduate degree is a Bachelors degree. A graduate degree is a Masters degree or Doctorate (PhD, MD, JD, etc.) "I want the highest but I don't which one is it." It depends on what you want to do. If you want to have a profession, the highest is Masters degree. If you want to teach the profession, Ph.D.. if you want to be a doctor, M.D.. if you want to be a lawyer, J.D..

Q: What is the Difference between Bachelor Degrees and Bachelor of Science?
Bachelor Degress, Bachelor of Sciense, School, Educashen, Degress,

A: A Bachelor's of Arts (BA) is a bit different than a Bachelor of Science (BS). A BS has more math and science requirements than a BA. A BGS (Bachelor of General Studies) is the degree with the least amount of requirements. Educashen and Degress are just misspelled versions of education and degrees.

Q: How does Associates and Bachelor's Degrees Work Exactly?
What I mean to ask is, can I go to a school for four years and work on my Bachelor's without getting an Associates degree first? Or do I have to get an associates and then a bachelor's?

A: You can go straight to a four-year institution to get your bachelor's. The first two years will be pretty much the same regardless, except you may have more choices of classes at a four-year intuition and you will get a better overall education and experience of academic life. However, you may opt to save some money for the last two of your education and attend a community college in order to get those general education classes completed and then transfer to a four-year school. There are plenty of options available to you, speak to a school adviser and take a look around the internet at the websites for the colleges and universities which you are interested in attending, perhaps even email some of the staff there with your queries.

Q: Is it possible to earn two bachelor degrees within four years of college?
I would like to recieve an engineering degree and writing/literary degree in a standard four year period. Summer schooling is an option. Thanks for your answers.

A: That's called double-majoring, and you can do it at most colleges, but you only get one bachelors degree, not two. The one degree is in both subjects - you have to fulfill the major requirements for both along with any other courses the school requires. Since there's no overlap, you might have to take a few summer courses to finish everything on time, or you could attend a college with few/no core requirements so you can just work on the majors (Brown, Smith, Amherst, Kenyon).

Q: What careers in the medical field are bachelor degrees? What are their names, and also how is 8 years of colle
for a doctor? is it stressful? regretful, 8 years of your life studying. Please respond. Thank you.

A: Nursing, radiology, Respiratory Therapy (can also be an associates, I think), Physical Therapy (I think involves a couple extra years).

Q: What bachelor's degrees can I get if I already have an associates in Nursing?
Can I pick a different field to get my bachelor's degree in like Business Administration, Spanish, or Information Systems Technology? I was told I could pick a field that has room for a lot of electives and just use my prior credits to fill that area. If I do decide to go this route will I be able to receive my BA in no more than 2 to 3 years? besides a BSN Thanks for all the replies! Happy Holidays. I already know what will transfer. I look at that when I was looking at the RN to BSN programs at schools.

A: You have not given enough information to answer definitely yes or no about whether you will be able to receive your BA in no more than 2 or 3 years. It is hard to get a BA in 4 years when you start your college education at a 4 year educational institution; that is, compared to how long it takes if you start your college education at an AA school. Another delay in getting your BA is the difficult getting the classes you need at the BA school. I am not saying the classes are not being given. I am saying that the schools do not offer enough of the classes that the students need WHEN the students want to take them. You may have had this difficulty in your AA school. Just don't expect it to get better in your BA school. Part of the problem is not being able to transfer enough units from your AA school to your BA school; that is, after you learn what types of units your BA school may transfer, then apply for the units you want to transfer, you are likely to be somewhat disappointed. I estimate you are likely to take 3, 4 or more years beyond your AA to get your BA.

Q: Should bachelor degrees be 3 years instead of 4?
In USA it takes 4 years and many people take as long as 5. In Europe and most of Asia it is 3 years. Only 55% of people that start in the USA graduate. Do you think 3 years is better?

A: They finish faster because they do more work. There is no requirement to take four years for a bachelor degree, that is up to the student. with a larger course load and summer classes you could easily be done in 3 years. Most of those other countries also have populations that speak 2 or more languages. Until the US increases its standards in the primary education system our colleges will never change.

Q: What are some of the easiest and hardest bachelor degrees to get?


A: That depends on what your good at and bad at. The choice will be different for eveyone. I am an Engineer, found it fairly easy getting through school. I think if I tried to be a Lawyer, I'd shoot myself. It does not fit my personallity or interests.

Q: Do people with bachelor degrees?
Does anyone know if there are people with bachelor degrees flipping burgers or working in the fast food industry?
