What is an Associate Degree?

Students who pursue an online associate degree full-time can complete a program in as little as two years. An associate degree serves as the foundation to build upon other educational achievements. An online AA degree from AIU, may also lead to pursuing your bachelor’s degree. Having “some college” on your educational background can be beneficial for the future. An associate degree may be a perfect fit.

Bachelor’s Degree vs. Associate’s Degree

AIU’s online associate degree and online bachelor’s programs. The major differences between the two are the time it takes to complete a program and how much depth the curriculum covers. It is important to note that a bachelor’s degree takes longer to complete, due to the amount of credits required. An associate degree, on the other hand, is built around broad-based, foundational coursework.
