The rules for admission vary from profession to profession. Most professional bodies require you to study for a core degree.  Upon graduation you can apply for admission as a professional and you will have to undergo some form of apprenticeship before you can be admitted as a professional.\n\nIn my profession (Chartered Surveyor) your degree should be 4 years minimum.  Therafter you are required to work for 3 years (as a probationer) under a registered professional to gain appropriate practical experience before you can be admitted to the profession.

It depends.  Some masters degrees involve only 36 credits of class work.  Going full time, one mightbe able to do that in a year.  Some masters degrees involve significantly more credits.  Others involve writing a masters thesis.  So these will take longer.  I'd say on average 2-3 years.

You should have a bachelor's of science degree-preferrably in education/counseling and depending on the state/school, some may wish you to have your masters degree and/or certification. This can take anywhere from 3-? years....depending on how much of a course load you take each semester and how little partying you do.Look on the State's website for employment, go to the local School Board, or register with the Job Service( Employment Office) in your local area-they'll send you job info/openings that match your profile...average salary-depends on the state you're in...$30,000-$59,000 per year/depending on your qualifications and time/service.

That depends on whether your getting an Associate's Degree or Bachelor's Degree. I'm currently going to nursing school and getting my Associate's which is 2 years (summer's off). The prerequisites took another year to complete. A Bachelor's Degree will take you at least 4 years.

An Associate of Arts degree is built around a two-year degree plan. You can typically take a heavier load of courses and finish the degree in less than two years, if you have the finances and schedule to allow it. Taking summer classes, weekend classes, and mini-mesters (usually 5-week long courses) can also shorten the time to complete the degree. Check online course catalogs and class schedules for more information.

AS degree must be an Associates Degree which generally takes two years to complete.\nBA is a Bachelor of Arts Degree and would generally take four years to complete.  A BS Degree is a Bachelor of Science degree which is the same as a BA except you take different courses such as two years of a foreign language instead of a statistics class.\n\nA Masters degree is obtained once you receive a BA or BS in a subject such as English, Political Science, Biology, Social Science, Psychology, etc.  A Masters Degree generally takes two years to complete, during which you do research on a topic of interest to you for presentation.\n\nPhD. requires another two plus years and involves writing a doctoral dissertation and presenting it to the university for review and certification.  I am sure there are many more requirements that I am unaware of as I only recently received my BS in Social Science myself.

Depends on the University and the program, they are all different and measure units differently.  Northwestern measures units as individual classes so one class equals one credit, while other schools measure a credit hour based on how many hours of class you have each week in that class and so on.  For associates typically, 60 hours, Bachelors 120 hours.  A masters depends on the program and where you go.  A lot of masters degrees are 24-30 hours beyond a Bachelors but you can't take the same amount of classes at a time.  A Ph.D. can take from 3-7 years depending on the degree and program beyond your masters.  It all depends in what and where you go.

Depends on where you live and how old you are.  Here in Aus, we have a Certificate in Office Administration that takes approx 6 months to 2 years depending on whether you do it full or part time.  It is also offered as a traineeship while you work.  We have a lot of things like that, certificates, traineeships and apprenticeships.  Do some research with local education providers.

If you were really keen on botany, you could put specialization, or honours program!  It takes 4 years to get a degree (five if you're me).  Botany is a wicked degree, so keep that one!  You don't usually get two degrees, although you could do an after degree.  Most of the people I know take chemistry if they are in any type of biological sciences. Anyways, good luck!

It's about the same as an associates degree. If you buckle down and take maximum credits, you can get it done in a year including the summer. That is quite difficult to do, so it generally takes 2 years in addition to the 4 for a bachelor's degree.

It really varies quite a bit, depending on your current level of education, where you want to teach, and what you want to teach.  Some speciality areas require a masters.  Total time can range from 4 years (probably minimum) to 7 years.  If you want to teach ESL in Korea or Japan there are situations where you can get a job with just a BA, but most teaching jobs require more.  YOu may be able to get a job teachign in some countries such as China or the Czech Republic without a degree.  In Canada and the US you probably need at least two degrees for most situations - an arts or science degree (B.A. or B.Sc.) and a teaching degree (B.ED. or M.Ed.)

I dont think so, most degrees last a minimum of three years.  If anyone is advertising as such, double check before you sign up.  Also check who is actually awarding the degree.\n\nIf you are a genius then the University or College may make an exception in light of your performance and let you complete faster, but dont count on it.\n\nGood Luck\nBattery Wizard
