The Value of an Associate Degree


An associate degree (AAS) from a career college is an exceptional value. Typically completed in less than two years of full-time study, it provides skills for immediate employment and can serve as a base for later studies and advancement. And, annual earnings of a worker with a two-year degree are on the average, 25% higher than those of a worker with a high school diploma.*
