1. first is your Associate's , bachelors, and then your masters that is when you can call yourself a Doctor. I do online courses now thru AshworthCollege.com check it out.
2. You get an associates degree usually at a community college, and it takes about two years. A BA takes about four years. After that, you can go for higher degrees. An online degree offers much the same courses, but on your timeline. Figure out what you want to study, then do a little research on where to go.
3. Here is the order. You were almost correct. HS Diploma Certificate Associates Bachelor's Masters - includes MBA (Master of Business Administration) Master's Certificate Doctoral Doctoral Certificate All of these require coursework, which is basically a set requirement of courses before you would be recognized for a degree or certificate. Certificates are available for many different things at many different levels of education. Certificates offered at lower levels of education are "easier" to acheive than at higher levels. It should be noted that you do not need an Associate Degree or any certificates in order to get a Bachelor's degree. An Associate Degre is only a stepping stone to a Bachelor's Degree, with most 4 year colleges accepting an Associate as direct transfer into Junior standing at their institution. Hope this clears it up for you
