An “Associates Degree” is a type of degree within the university within the “Undergraduate” type or non-graduates that refers to students who are pursuing their university studies and do not yet have a university degree.
It is a relatively “new” degree that is equivalent to around 65 hours of credits and that was born of the need to offer a degree to the large number of students who did not complete their “bachelor” or four-year university degree but who, at least, They had completed two full years of studies.
