Associate of Science - General Education

Earning an associate degree can be a stepping stone toward achieving the more advanced goals students have set for themselves. Celebrating this milestone can help them refocus your attention toward achieving a baccalaureate degree simply by serving as a half-way point toward degree completion.

If one of their educational goals includes earning a baccalaureate degree, students and their advisor should choose classes that will satisfy the degree requirements for both the associate degree and the baccalaureate degree desired.

While earning an associate degree might not specifically qualify students to start working in the area of interest, it can help to prove their seriousness toward completing goals that they set for themselves. Potential employers are always looking for an employee who is not only able to set goals but also one who can meet the goals he or she sets.
