Actually, over here a 4 year degree can take up to five years to get and a two year degree can take 3! It's all in supply/demand of the required core classes.

One of the things people do here to help defray cost is take all the electives they can at a (much cheaper) two year school and then transfer all those credits to a four year Univeristy and get the Bachelor's that way. and yeah, Uni's will take tons of two year schools ('colleges' over here) credits - they work hand in hand with a lot of them.

main disadvantage in having a 2 year degree is advancement in management. for example, an RN in Ohio will make the same salary whether she's a 2 year degree RN or a four year degree RN. Experience will dictate raises, etc. BUT, if you want to go into nursing management you'll need that Bachelor's.
