What about people who go straight into a Ph.D program after getting a Bachelor's degree? What do you call them?Besides "Turbo-nerds."
Or do they earn an MA while studying, and get awarded both at the end?
One generally gets the MA on the way. In most disciplines, the MA is around 30-36 hours, and the Ph.D. adds about a year's worth of course work plus a doctoral thesis on top of that. Two more years if you do it right.
Then, of course, many disciplines require post-doctoral work. . . .

In my case, when I do honours, if I get a first class honours, it's Ph.D. direct, but if I drop the ball and it's a second class or lower, I go MSc then the Ph.D. The latter just takes longer.
If I do the former, there aren't any master's degrees involved, but a first class honours is generally considered roughly equivalent, for progression purposes at least.

How.... Vernaltemptress.... uughhhhhh:
Tarquinn, an AA or an AS is a two year degree. Some students earn these at a community or junior college before heading to university to earn a Bachelor's and the courses generally take the place of the first two years of required courses. Class sizes are typically smaller and the courses are cheaper.
Thanks.

A lot of universities offer associate degrees as well, and some programs offer only two year rather than four year.
We don't really have what you would call a junior college around here in Indianapolis, unlesss you count ITT Tech or Indiana Business College, so IUPUI is the only real place to get even an associate's.

Hurrah. My school is totally unorganized.
