Q.

What is the difference in the A.S. degree, and the A.A. degree

A.

The A.S. will provide you the educational knowledge and hands- on internship experience in preparation to transitions into the work force without having to attend another educational institute.

The A.A. will provide you with the general studies courses needed to continue on to the university in pursuit of a Bachelors degree.

 

Q.

How long will it take  me to get a degree?

A.

This answer solely depends on the number of classes you will take each school term. Most all classes in the A.S. curriculum are 3 credit hours, which is 3 contact hours per week
