I am going to university in England for a BA (hons) in Creative Writing. It has three years instead of the usual four in America. Will it still qualify as a degree in America?

US and UK bachelors degrees are considered entirely equivalent. The reason why UK degrees take only 3 years is because you focus entirely on your major. In the US, you're required to have breadth as well as depth, and you have to take courses outside your major such as foreign language, math, etc. But in the end, the two degrees are considered equivalent, so don't stress. You're good.

Hi Chelsea, They should be treated as equivalent and you should not have any problems with finding a job in the US with a degree from the UK.

Yes, it will be accepted and respected in the USA. You will study the field and forgo Into to Art, Intro to Music and such crap!
