I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I'm looking lightly into cheap education, but I have a few broad questions. These may seem like simple questions, but I'm very college-illiterate! I haven't really started to look into these things until recently (I'm an incoming senior)
1) how do associate and bachelor degrees work? Is a bachelors degree a continuation of the subject studied in an associates degree, or is it an entirely new course - for example, can you have an associate degree in art and a bachelors degree in science?
2) how long does it take to complete an associate degree and bachelor degree? I heard you can go to a 2 year community college to get an associates, and then transfer to an actual university to finish the last two years. Does this mean you can get an associate degree and bachelor degree in 4 years?
3) can you double major with your associates degree (at a community college)? Or are double majors only applicable to four year programs?
4) BIGGEST QUESTION - this whole business of going to a two year community college first to save money, and then transferring to a university afterwards. Is it possible to take a break during this process? Can you finish the two years at community, take a gap year or two, and then pick up where you left off with the transfer?
Thanks!
