Some students will choose a four year college. A successful four years
at college usually results in a BA or BS in a particular field. There
are also several certification programs at 4 year colleges such as in
education or paralegal studies. Many four year colleges now offer accelerated
masters or law degree programs where a student can continue with graduate
studies and earn a masters in Education in five years or a law degree
in six years. Check the websites of the colleges carefully to see if
they offer such a program.
