one more quote:
The Italian higher education system is currently undergoing a reform which will bring it more into line with the rest of Europe. A full degree, Diploma di Laurea (DL), used to take four to six years but under the new system students can opt for a three year Laurea Breve (LB), more or less equivalent to a UK undergraduate degree, or with the option of two further years of study to obtain a Laurea Specialistica (LS).

In 2 years, you can train for some of the fastest growing jobs in the economy, increase your earnings, and pave the way for further education.
How? Earn an associate degree. An associate degree is a college degree awarded after the completion of about 20 classes. It either prepares students for a career following graduation or allows them to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program.
Compared with workers whose highest level of educational attainment was a high school diploma, workers with an associate degree averaged an extra $128 a week in 2001, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). People with associate degrees also are more likely to find jobs: the unemployment rate in 2001 was more than 30 percent lower for associate degree holders compared with high school graduates. And, according to several academic studies, advantages in the job market might be even greater for those just starting their careers and for those who work in a career related to their degree.
