Associate in Science (A.S.) degree directed toward a specific career

Associate in Science (A.S.) programs are usually one to two years. A.S. programs provide you with the knowledge necessary to perform and excel in a particular profession. Some of the credits earned in an A.S. degree program can be transferred to a four-year college or university. Unlike the A.A. degree, however, the A.S. curriculum is not considered equal to the first two years of a bachelor's degree.
