In-Demand Associate Programs

Typically a 2-year degree or 60 credit-hour degree program, an associate degree provides a valuable foundation knowledge on the subject you choose. This is a great option for someone who is still exploring what they want to study, or who wants a shorter degree program. You are often able to transfer your credits from an associate degree program to a bachelor’s, but will need to inquire with specific institutions to learn more.

In-Demand Bachelor’s Programs

Typically a 4-year program or about 120 credit hours, a bachelor’s degree offers a greater depth of knowledge in a field than associate degrees. Certain careers and employers prioritize a bachelor’s degree because it shows a greater depth of knowledge and more skills.
