If you have your associates degree how long does the bachelors take 2 or 3 years?

It depends. While many associate's degrees are designed to be transferable to a bachelor's degree program, completing a bachelor's degree after earning an associate's degree typically takes two years if you have a good transfer of credits and maintain full-time student status.

However, it could take longer than two years under certain circumstances:

* Not all credits transfer: Some credits from your associate's degree may not be accepted by the bachelor's degree program you choose. This necessitates taking additional courses to fulfill the bachelor's degree requirements.

* Part-time study: If you study part-time, it will naturally take longer to complete the degree.

* Changing majors: Switching majors after transferring can mean more courses are needed.

* Academic performance: If you need to repeat courses due to low grades, this will increase the time to graduation.

Therefore, while two years is a common goal, planning for a possible three-year timeline is often more realistic. It's best to work with an advisor at the university you plan to attend to determine precisely how many credits will transfer and create a realistic timeline.
