    It may be able to be done in 2, however, you would need to already either have an Associate's or have at least some coursework in your field of study and take a heavy load (18+ hours) per semester to be able to get it in that amount of time.

    Usually a Bachelor's takes 4 years at 15 hours per semester. This equals a total of 120 hours. These hours consist of general education requirements as well as a declared major and completing whatever coursework that major requires.

    An Associate's degree requires 60 credits, usually takes 2 years, and consists of general education and some study in a particular chosen field.

    Hope this helped. :)

    Bachelors degrees are planned to take 4 years. If you take intensive course loads and go to summer school, you MIGHT get through in 3 (though many degree plans have a chain of prerequisites that may make this difficult).

    2-year degrees are associates degrees, also often called certificates. Generally, most people tend to think of a "college degree" as starting with a bachelor's.

    a bachelor's degree normally takes 4 years

    an associate degree normally takes 2 years (students who attend a community college or junior college usually graduates with an associates degree and than go on to a 4-year university to receive a bachelor's degree) students who go to a community college first usually get their bachelors degree within two years because they have already taken most of the core courses for their major
