An A.A. degree in Accounting is usually geared for students who plan to transfer to a four-year university in a residential, full-time program. The A.A.S. degree is accepted by many local colleges and universities, especially adult part-time programs. The A.A. includes more liberal arts courses, while the A.A.S. focuses more on a specialty area.
