Answer 2

An associate degree is an academic degree awarded by community colleges, junior colleges, 4 Years, business colleges and some bachelors degree-granting colleges/universities upon completion of a course of study usually lasting two years.

Common abbreviations are:

AA (Associate of Arts)

AS (Associate of Science)

ABS (Associate of Baccalaureate Studies)

APS (Associate of Political science)

AFA (Associate of Fine Arts)

APS (Associate of Public Service)

AAB (Associate of Applied Business)

In the United States and, more rarely, Canada, an associate degree is equivalent to the first two years of a four-year college or university degree. It is the lowest in the hierarchy of postsecondary academic degrees offered in these countries. It is also equivalent to the UK's foundation degree and France's diplôme d'études universitaires générales or DEUG. In 2000, Hong Kong introduced associate degrees, as an equivalence to higher diplomas. These programmes are mainly provided through affiliated colleges at universities. In 2004, Australia added "associate degree" to the Australian Qualifications Framework. This title was given to more academically focused advanced diploma courses. However, very few courses yet use the new title.
