AA vs AS vs AAS Degrees (Academic Wellness - Mini-Session)

The meeting I attended taught me about the differences between AA, AS, and AAS degrees. I learned that an AA and AS degree can help students transfer to a four-year college to continue their education and earn a bachelor’s degree. I also learned that an AAS degree focuses more on preparing students for a specific career. Overall, the meeting helped me understand the different college degree options and how choosing the right degree can help me reach my future educational and career goals.

I attended the mini session about AA, AS, and AAS degrees. I learned that an AA (Associate of Arts) and an AS (Associate of Science) are often for students who want to transfer to a four-year college. An AAS (Associate of Applied Science) focuses more on preparing students for a specific job. And this helped me understand the different degree options and how they can help me with my future education and career.

It taught me the differences of AA, AS, and AAS, their uses, and which one I would need to get the career I want, I want an engineering degree and transfer to a 4 year university, and the AS is what I need.

I enjoyed this session I got to learn what AS,AA, and AAS mean. I also learn that AAS is not very transfer friendly.

I attended the event to meet goals for talking about three topics.

This meeting was very helpful to me, I learned a lot from this. I learned about the many differences between the AA, AS, and AAS degrees and about which ones to consider if you planned on transferring. I also learned about what it means for a school or degree to be transfer friendly and how important it is to talk with the school you plan on transferring to just so there isn't any issues with transferring if that's what you're planning.

I learned about the different degrees in figuring out which one works best for me to determine if I need to transfer to get into the work field or if I'm immediately going to the work field after graduating

It helped me a lot in my college journey
