How many credits do you need for an AA?

The number of credits for an associates degree may vary slightly from state to state depending on the states mandate concerning this issue. However, the degree will take approximately 60 to 64 credits. Some programs of study may take more. These programs are typically within the allied health field where many hours of clinical are required. All-in-all the associates degree is designed to be a two year program of study provided the student takes the program as prescribed by the institution. What may prolong the degree are prerequisite courses required for some programs, basic skills testing, and course load per semester.
