Q: What is bachelors degree ? how many bachelors degrees can you earn in 4 years ?
I like science. Im very interested in becoming a cardiologist. Which bachelors degree should i get ? Is it possible to earn hold more than one bachelors degree ? Im so confused. please help me ? Thanks.

A: As others have told you -- a Bachelor's degree is a four year degree -- and is usually the first degree that you get in college. Most people only get one bachelor's degree -- though some schools will allow you to get two at the same time. My university did not allow us to have a double major. Most people do not get more than one bachelor's degree. If they want more education, they go on for a master's degree or a doctorate -- which are both more advanced degrees. If you want to become a cardiologist, you will need to get a BS, then go on to medical school to get either a MD or a DO degree. To get into medical schools, you can get any bachelor's degree that you like -- as long as you take the courses required to get into medical school (usually referred to as pre-med classes). However, it is a good idea to do more than the bare minimum, so majoring in biology or chemistry would be a good idea. To become a cardiologist, you need to get a BS (four years), an MD or DO (another four years), spend a year as a medical intern (one year), three years in a cardiology residency program. After that, you take an exam to become board certified.

Q: How long does it take to get a bachelors degree?
I plan on going to the university of toronto to become an architect. How many years will it from the very beginning to get a bachelors degree? Also, should I keep on going to receive a master's? How many years will that take? Thank you!

A: It takes 4 years to achieve a bachelor's degree. Depending on the degree you want, you can do the first 2 years at a community college for the basics (Associates in Art/ 2 years degree) then transfer to the school of your choice that specifies the line of work you want. For example: I got my social work (BS) degree and did the first two years at a community college then transferred to a university to finish the degree. Depending on the school and the line of work you want to get into- you may either have to go one more year for your master's, but it's usually 2 more years to obtain your master's degree. I think higher degrees mean more money, if that is what you are aiming for and obviously more knowledge/ higher title (degree), but you may be fine with just a bachelor's degree, without having to go the full 6 years. I hope this helps and good luck!
