An associates degree is a 2-year degree earned right after high school. It is a real degree, but usually not sufficient for someone who wants to be a “college graduate”. Usually, someone who gets an associates degree in an academic subject matter like psychology will go on to get a bachelors degree, which is a four-year degree earned right after high school (that would mean another two years of classes). The four year bachelors degree (a BS is a bachelor of science) is the standard college degree. You can start the bachelors degree at the beginning and it will take four years, and the associates degree is not necessary to get before beginning it. A masters degree is a degree earned AFTER getting a bachelors degree. It uusally takes between one and two more years after that, but you can’t get into a masters degree program unless you already have a bachelors degree.

The only other college degree is a Ph.D. or doctorate, and that usually takes at least another four years AFTER the bachelors degree, or possibly AFTER the master’s degree (many people get the master’s degree along the way to the doctorate.

Online degrees in psychology don’t make much sense, though. Psychology has to do with human behavior, and I can’t imagine that anyone would respect such a degree earned without human interaction!

You ain’t going to get much with on line colleges. Lab research at best and they may not like your on line degree because you took no labs nor higher math studies.

A BS in Psychology might get you a case worker job for the government handling welfare and probation people. And only if they accept your college as accredited, otherwise they won’t accept you. They’ll ask for a transcript probably.

Associate with get you nothing

Masters in Science won’t get you much either, unless it has a lot of core coverage.

If it don’t got:

Calculus 1, 2
Inorganic Chem 1 and 2
Physics 1 and 2
Organic Chem
Statistics

Then it’s baloney

You might as well study Wikepedia and How Stuff Works, it covers the same material.

If your not solving Newtonian body problems with aglebra and calc it’s not real physics

If you’re not learning qualitative and quantitave analysis and bonding and stuff like that, it’s not chemistry.

I don’t know how they expect to teach that without lab time.
