Degree Question
#6

You need 15 more credits for the AA, and 15 credits beyond that for the BS, right? How long will it take to earn those last 15 credits for the BS?

ROI, once again, is the factor. If it will take you another year after finishing the AA to finish the BS, and you will benefit from having an associates degree in that year between the AA conferral and the BS conferral, then it may be worth the additional graduation fee.

If it would only take another 3-6 months to get the additional credits, then it seems pointless to get the AA - unless you absolutely need to have a degree ASAP for work-related reasons. And as cookderosa (nursederosa!) points out, you may find yourself having to explain how you went from AA to BS in just a few months.

You'll never escape any degree you take. You'll never even escape any class you take. Just wait until you apply for grad school or a second baccalaureate, and have to request transcripts from every school you attended after high school no matter how long ago that was...
