Certificate of Completion or Associates Degree?

If a student know what they would like to major in once they begin college, earning an associates degree may be a good idea. Although, it should be noted that having an associates degree may not reduce the length of a bachelors degree by the full two years. 

If a student does not know what they would like to major in once they begin college, earning a Certificate of Completion is recommended over earning an associates degree. This potentially gives students more opportunity for exploration in college before needing to choose a major. The Certificate of Completion is approximately 25-38 credit hours.
