If I obtain an associates degree in accounting, is it possible to get a bachelor's in a different subject?

Question

Associate's in Accounting and maybe a Bachelor's in Information Systems? Is it possible to get an associate degree in something and get a bachelors in something different. Say if I want to get my associates in accounting because there may be better jobs than someone with a associates in computer infomation systems.

Also, what would be better Associates in Accounting or Computer Information?

Answer 1

You may have to take additional credits towards the Bachelors degree. If the Bach degree requires 60 credits in technology, plus general education and electives, your accounting cedits will be used to fill all available slots, whatever is left (example, electronics, physics etc) you will have to take. Therefore, it might take an extra semester/year.

it is not uncommon to be in your situation. The best way to be sure is to check with the college that offers the bachelors degree and get an 'estimate'. Usually there are academic advisors or a department chair can help you.

best of luck
