What is an "Associate's Degree"?
An Associate Degree is achieved after attending a junior college or community college and completing the course of study that they lay out for you and require you to take. An Associate Degree is generally an overview of academic courses in a wide range of fields. If biological sciences, physical sciences, English - both written composition and critical reasoning - and mathematics are all accomplished with a grade of "C" or better, the student can then achieve an Associate Degree.
