Return To Degrees FAQ Archive   Search the Archives What is the difference between an Associate degree and a Bachelors Degree? Answered By Devon Turnhill, Editor Typically, an Associate degree is a two-year program usually taken in community colleges, although some universities also offer associate degree programs. An Associate degree is a preparation for higher studies, usually a Bachelors degree. Very much like a crash course, it trains one on a particular field of specialization, and allows for a sub-professional certification in that field. A Bachelors degree is a more specialized program, usually taking four to five years. Instruction is more intensive and the student is trained to be a working professional in the field. This can later on continue to more advanced studies like a Masters degree or a PhD. keywords: Degree | Degrees | College | University | BA | BS | Bachelors | Diploma | Associate Degree | Bachelor Degree Cambridge University Chiropractic Continuing Education
