Collge question help please!!!!!?


Ok. so i am filling out a financial aid form and it says what degree or certificate will you be working on during the 2008-2009 year.
It will be my first year and I will be taking whatever classes I need to take to get in to the nursing program.

so here are the options:

1st bachelors degree
2nd bachelors degree
Associate degree(general education/transfer program)
Associate degree( occupational or technical program)
Certificate for completing less then a 2year program
Certificate for completing at least a 2 year program
Teaching Credentail
Graduate/professional degree
other/undecided.

Remember I am a seniro in high school.
Going to a community college for 2 years until i can eneter the nursing program

nursing will be "Associate degree( occupational or technical program)"

You should really know the type of degree/cert you are about to go to school for.

How long is the program? If you are taking 2 years at comm then transferring to a 4 year school it would be:

Associate degree(general education/transfer program)

...and you could probably also get away with:

1st bachelors degree


If it's just a program at the community college then:

Associate degree(occupational or technical program)

But nursing is also a cert program is it not? I'm not sure whether nursing is cert or A.A., if you're working on your nursing certificate it would be:

Certificate for completing at least a 2 year program

If you intend to transfer out of community college and earn a bachelors degree, it should be 1st bachelors degree. If you are going to get an associate degree and then enter another school with the goal of obtaining a bachelors degree, it should be associate degree. Don't stress out about these things though. Picking what may be the wrong one doesn't really amount to a big deal, and if it does they will notify you that it should be changed.
