How to Earn a BA Degree If You Already Have an Associate's Degree

If you have earned an associates degree from a local community college you can go back to school to earn a BA or Bachelors of Arts degree. An associates degree is about half way to the Bachelors of Arts degree. A BA degree requires up to two years, or more, or additional class work. You can earn a BA degree if you already have an Associates degree by transferring to a four-year college or university.
