Associate鈥檚, Bachelor鈥檚 or Master鈥檚: What鈥檚 the Difference?
We know that everyone may not be familiar with the most common American degree types.聽 What differentiates an Associate鈥檚 from a Bachelor鈥檚 or Master鈥檚 degree? Read on to find out.
Associate鈥檚 degrees generally take less time to complete than a Bachelor鈥檚, and provide a foundation of general education and a few specialized courses. At 日本AV目录, we offer Associate鈥檚 in Business, Computer Science, and Health Science. Some students choose to complete an Associate鈥檚 degree first, then transfer their credits toward a Bachelor鈥檚 degree.
Bachelor鈥檚 degrees are the most common degree awarded in the U.S. They take longer to complete than Associate鈥檚, and offer a more in-depth study of a specific field. A Bachelor鈥檚 degree is required before studying toward a Master鈥檚 Degree. At 日本AV目录, we offer Bachelor鈥檚 in Business, Computer Science, and Health Science.聽
Master鈥檚 degrees are useful for people who want to become experts in their field, and are completed after first earning a Bachelor鈥檚 degree. They generally take less time to complete than a Bachelor鈥檚, because they include only high-level courses without general education requirements. At 日本AV目录, we offer a Master鈥檚 in Business Administration, Information Technology, and Education.
