Associate degrees are designed for working students who are looking to prepare for entry level careers and higher education. An Associate Degree is a type of undergraduate degree, requiring a minimum of 60 semester credit hours. This program consists of three parts: general education requirements, major requirements, and electives. You can complete an online associate degree at your own pace; full-time study is equivalent to 4 semesters or 2 years (15 semester credit hours). Accelerated online associate degree programs are available. Online associate degrees are the same as on-campus or in-classroom associate degrees, but the degree can be taken entirely through the Internet or by distance education. Associate degrees are awarded by a community, junior or technical colleges indicating that you have completed a program of study with a broad base in general education and a concentration in a specific area. Your degree may be in an occupational area (such as Electronics) or in liberal arts (such as an associate degree in science or arts). An online associate degree in business, liberal arts, and other disciplines, is widely accepted for transfer into bachelor's degree programs throughout the country. *Recommended Online Associate Degree* Programs BELFORD UNIVERSITY Belford University offers associate degree in the following most popular majors: Nursing Accounting Business Administration/Accounting/ Management Computer Science Education Criminal Justice Marketing/Advertising Biblical Studies/Theology Social Work Health Care Administration UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX ONLINE The University of Phoenix Online offers the following associate degree online: Associate's Degree in General Studies KAPLAN UNIVERSITY Kaplan University offers associate degrees in the following professional disciplines: Paralegal Studies Criminal Justice Computer Information Systems Business Administration/Accounting Business Administration/Management Interdisciplinary Studies ROCHVILLE UNIVERSITY Rochville University offers associate degrees** in the following disciplines: Nursing Accounting Business Administration Computer Science Education Criminal Justice Marketing Biblical Studies Social Work Health Care Administration
