ASSOCIATE’S DEGREE IN
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Overview
Why an Associate Degree?
An associate degree is an American university degree consisting of roughly 20 courses in a chosen field of study, which is typically completed in two years. Many students at American universities choose to begin their academic career with an associate degree for a number of reasons:
(1) After completing an associate degree, no formalities involved with continuing one’s studies toward a bachelor’s degree
(2) Obtaining an associate degree gives students a tool for career-advancement while still studying, as well as an advantage in searching for a job
(3) Research shows that dividing one’s goals into shorter, more manageable tasks greatly increases an individual’s ability to achieve defined goals
