Associate Degree Program
Online Associate Degree Programs have grown significantly in popularity due to increasing job transitions and evolving career demands. Many career-focused individuals seek to strengthen their professional standing by earning degrees that recognize their real-world experience. As higher-level positions often require at least a master’s degree—and in some cases, a doctorate—the demand for associate and advanced online degree programs has continued to rise since 2009.
Many candidates are also planning ahead to prepare for potential job changes or career disruptions by taking advantage of flexible online education. Others believe it is difficult to balance full-time work with continued education or assume that earning a degree requires many years of study. Traditionally, a bachelor’s degree takes four years to complete, a master’s degree requires at least two additional years, and a doctorate can take two or more years beyond that.
What many people do not realize is that there are colleges and universities—such as Berkshire State University—that offer credit hours toward an associate degree based on prior professional experience. If you have at least two years of experience in your field, you may qualify to apply for a related degree. For example, if you are pursuing a career in writing with a focus on journalism, your experience writing and designing a monthly newsletter for a club or organization may be evaluated and credited toward your degree requirements.
