Emily’s Answer

I wouldn’t worry so much about getting your associates degree on time after high school. College is all about figuring out what you want to do and what you want to pursue. I have been in your position it took me a long time to transfer out of community college and then go to a four year to earn my bachelors degree. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to get your associates degree no one cares. There is no set timeline of when to get your degree. It’s better to take your time in school and know what you’re doing then rush through and cram all your courses from my experience. I’m currently at a four year and it’s taking a lot of time and I don’t care what people think because I don’t want to cram so many units in one semester that would affect me mentally. Also you want to enjoy the college experience because it goes by fast. Just do what is right for you and don’t compare yourself to others in terms of where they are at in life.

Hi Angelique. It sounds like you are dual enrolled. If so, your high school and the college where you are taking college courses will work together so you can graduate on time from high school and earn your associates degree simultaneously. This is a great opportunity to earn college credit and the degree usually for free. This will also lessen the time and expense to pursue your bachelor’s degree. It will be challenging but worth it. However, you shouldn’t worry too much if you don’t graduate on time with your associates since you are already getting college credits. The other option to get college credit for free is modernstates.org. I encourage you to check it out. My advice is to think of your goals, enjoy your time in high school, and just do your best. Best of luck!

Hello Angelique!

You're an exceptional individual who sets the bar higher than most. While this is commendable, it can also lead to unnecessary stress.

Remember, there's no set deadline to finish your Associates Degree. This period is all about discovering your passions, interests, and the career path you wish to follow.

I strongly recommend you seek guidance from an Academic Advisor at your high school or community college. They can provide valuable advice tailored to your unique situation, especially regarding financial aid and transition to a 4-year university, if that's your aspiration.

I trust this advice will be beneficial!

Hi Angelique,

I'm sure you're doing just fine! Give yourself more grace.

There is no strict time frame for completing an associate degree as the duration can vary depending on factors, such as your pace, program of study, course load, and personal commitments (family, work, etc.) Some happen to finish in two years, and others much longer due to external circumstances. The same goes for bachelor's degrees and so on.

The flexibility of an associate degree allows students to tailor their education to their needs and schedules. Now, just to give you something to think about, it is vital that you understand your school's policies, such as any degree requirements, and any time limits associated with financial aid. I also suggest speaking with your academic advisor, as well as a financial aid counselor at your institution, to help you make informed decisions about your studies.
