AUniversities break their different majors into "schools" - school of science would include things like business, finance, accounting, biology, chemistry, marine bio, math, etc. School of arts includes languages, history, anthropology, art, music, etc. School of Secondary Education would be teaching curriculums. Ie, my husbands Business Administration degree is a Bachelor of Science, whereas my degree in American History is a Bachelor of the Arts. They usually have different core components and requirements of study, pertaining to the major.

ANeither is "faster". Both require a similar set of math and science core courses before you can get into the major. If you don't already have those core classes under your belt you're going to have to take them first, and because of this it takes most people longer than just 2 years to finish the AA degree in either discipline. You don't have to have a bachelor's degree in either discipline to work in the field. If you complete the A.S. degree and you pass the state licensing exam, then you can work. Note that there is a big difference between the Associates in Arts and the Associates in Science programs that colleges offer when it comes to these programs. The AA programs are specifically tailored for students who plan to stay in college for at least 4 years until they complete the bachelor's degree. These programs don't generally include clinicals and do not make you eligible to sit for the state licensing exam. The AS programs are for people who intend to begin working after they have finished a 2-year program. You can continue on to a bachelor's degree with an AS but you will need to take additional math, composition, etc. courses that are typically included in AA programs but not in AS programs. So, if you want to begin working after completing an associates degree program it is the Associates in Science (AS) degree that you want to do, not the AA.

ADoogie Howser; but that was premed. In physics, it should be a snap for someone of that caliber. If you sailed thru high school in one semester, a BS in one years shouldn't be impossible. The key is to know it all from independent study before your enroll.

AI'm not exactly sure what the difference is, but my first instinct is that Applied Science sounds second tier.

AThe same amount as anyone with a BS or BA.Medical school has a very different focus than even undergraduate bio/biomedical degrees, with a focus on clinical presentation, diagnosis, and whatnot in addition to the molecular science.....and even the molecular focus is different. Also, most med school in the US are in an integrated format, so you can't "place out" of a class because it's all combined together (and even back in the days of separate courses, you couldn't place out anyway). Med Schools are accountable for making sure you are *competent* in all the skills and science...and having taken a class--even a degree--and being competent in the material are very different things.

AThe Bachelor of Fine Arts has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.The Bachelor of Science is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field. In short, you could say that Bachelor of Fine Arts focuses more on the Artistic side of design, while Bachelor of Science focuses more on the scientific or technological side I guess...

ANo, the two are basically equivalent.

AA BBA is more general - you get some finance, some accounting, some management, some business law, etc. A BS-Finance would be more pointed.I recommend that you go for the BBA and if you are really interested in finance, go for an MBA afterwords. A BS finance really doesn't carry much weight these days - you will need an MBA eventually anyway.If you do go after either of these degrees, by all means take at least one tax course [not the same as accounting] and one "managerial accounting" [aka "budgeting"] course. They were the two most useful courses I have ever taken.As for career paths, these both lead to careers in business. Again, the BBA can take you almost anywhere. The BS-Finance more or less sends you to the local stockbroker or bank.
