B.A. Degrees in the United States. In the U. S., a Bachelor of Arts degree program usually requires a minimum of four years of full-time study beyond secondary school. A B.A. degree program is typically awarded for broad academic studies, rather than more specific, career-focused fields, many of which award a Bachelor of Science.
What is the difference between the A.S., A.A., A.A.S., and A.A.B. degrees? Associate of Science (A.S.) and Associate of Arts (A.A.) degrees are designed to prepare a student for transfer to a 4-year institution to pursue their bachelor's degree. Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) and Associate of Applied Business (A.A.B.) degrees are career programs which prepare students for employment. A.A.S. and A.A.B. graduates sometimes pursue a bachelor's degree but should work with their academic advisor to prepare for that transfer.
