What are some of the advantages of pursuing an Associate Degree?

An Associate Degree is a great option for many people because:

    It can be earned in only 2 years;
    It costs less than a 4-year degree;
    It gets you into the workforce faster;
    The programs are more flexible, and can be scheduled around work or other obligations;
    It can be a low-cost stepping stone to a 4-year college or university, if you transfer credits (see PG. 875 for more information on transferring credits).
