Organization is the practice of arranging a group of people into a business, government, association, society, nonprofit, or other highly structured arrangement. It requires everything from communication to leadership skills and is related to a variety of academic disciplines.

Many students earn associate degrees during their first few years of higher education. Since they usually require about two years of study, these degrees can act either as job qualifications or as precursors to more advanced degrees.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
