What is the difference between the Associate of Applied Science degree and the Professional Certificate?
The Associate of Applied Science degree is designed for students who do not currently have a college degree. It can be completed in two or three years and has a limited number of general education requirements. The Professional Certificate is designed for people who already have a college degree. If you already have a Bachelor’s Degree we recommend you work toward the Certificate and not the Associate Degree. The Professional Certificate requires the same classes in your major, but it does not require any general education classes.
