Associates degrees.
- Swizec 3y agoHere’s the thing: I’m 35 and don’t even have one of those. Having any degree at 12 is impressive. Hell even a high school degree would be impressive at that age.

- aezart 3y agoTypically it takes 2 years instead of the 4 a bachelor's degree would take
- pyuser583 3y agoIt's a 2-year degree, but beyond that it's unclear. An associates could be a blue collar trade - welding, carpentry, etc. It can also result in a paraprofessional certification - nursing, CAD, etc. Some students get associates in things like "liberal arts" so they can get general credits out of the way and spend two years at a (more expensive) 4 year school. They can also specialize and put that towards a 4 year degree. There's a military college that offers an associates degree in military science. When combined with enrollment in ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) it results in commissioning as a Second Liutentant in the US Army. So it's pretty much any 2-year degree. Much more flexibility in what that means than with other degrees.
- dehrmann 3y agoYou're right. > Associates degree in History, Associates degrees in Science, Associate degrees in Social Science, Science and Mathematics, arts and human expressions, social behavior and self-development "Science" and "Science and Math" make me suspicious of their value and difficulty because they're so generic, and the humanities degrees likely have a lot of overlapping courses. Plus it's at a CSU. For a 12-year-old, it's still an accomplishment, but this wouldn't add up to a bachelors at a UC.
