Associate's Degree

An associate's degree is a two-year degree that generally requires a high school diploma or equivalent for admission. Most associate's degrees will require about 60 credits for completion, equal to the first two years of a four-year college or university degree, and many students will apply their associate's degree toward a bachelor's degree.
