Bachelor Degree Programs

Are you looking into bachelor degree programs from a vocational school? While not all trade schools or community colleges offer bachelor degrees, a vocational training program or online school may be your stepping stone to a bachelor degree from a four-year college or university.

Bachelor degree programs usually require a minimum of 120 to 150 semester credit hours and are often divided into two main types - Bachelor of Arts (B.A. or A.B.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S. or B.Sc.), among others. Generally, the difference between associate degrees and bachelor degree programs is the time involved and course of study.

A few degree programs found at trade schools are geared toward credit transfer, and may include numerous fields of study, such as Accounting & Finance, Advertising, Art & Design, Business Administration, Business Management, Computer Information Systems, Criminal Justice, Information Technology (IT), Marketing & Sales, Paralegal, and many others.

Since most community colleges or 2-year institutions merely lay the foundation for students to achieve a bachelor's degree, current efforts are underway to prompt vocational training schools to offer bachelor degree programs (in addition to associate degrees, certificates and diplomas). However, there are a few vocational training schools that do currently provide bachelor degree programs in select courses of study, including Education, Information Technology (IT), and Nursing.
