Associate Of Science Degree?
Q: Can some educator or anyone explain to me the difference between an
Associate of Science degree and an Associate of Applied Science degree.
Just wondering. Can't seem to get anyone to explain the difference to
me. I notice at the local community college that they offer an
Associate of Science degree in Business and Commerce and they also offer
an Associate of Applied Science in Business and Commerce. The
admissions office is clueless.
A:I have an AAS in Emergency Medical Technology that I earned
as part of a 2-year advanced paramedic certification course, and later
earned an AA in History at the same institution before transferring to a
4-year college to earn my bachelors degree. It would have been difficult
to find any professional use for my AA degree, as I had to take only two
history courses to earn it, but the senior college was then forced to
grant me those two years of academic credit on transfer, rather than
pick and choose what courses they were willing to transfer (these were
both state institutions).
We evaluate a number of foreign educational credentials. In many cases we
evaluate two year foreign college degree as Associate of Applied Science.
The difference of 'Applied Science' vs. 'Science' is clear. When you have
'Science' degree - your subjects can be in majority of cases used as credits
for further higher education (say for Bachelor of science). Applied science
degrees are mostly final and you cannot use their credits for further
education.
