I agree.
It seems like you were about to ask whether or not these degree programs are considered to be degrees. Yes, all of the degree programs mentioned in your question are indeed considered to be degrees. Each one has its own focus and purpose.
1. Associate in Arts (AA): This degree program is usually designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor's degree in fields such as humanities, social sciences, or liberal arts.
2. Associate in Science (AS): This degree program is typically focused on science-related fields, such as biology, chemistry, computer science, or engineering. It is also often used as a stepping stone to transfer to a four-year college or university.
3. Associate in Applied Science (AAS): This degree program is more career-oriented and generally prepares students for immediate employment in a specific field. It may include hands-on training, internships, or practicums to provide practical skills and knowledge.
4. Vocational Certificate (VC): While not a degree program, a vocational certificate provides training for specific job skills. It is generally shorter in duration compared to degree programs and primarily focuses on preparing students for specific industries or occupations.
It's important to note that while some of these degrees are designed to prepare students for immediate careers, others are transferable to state university programs if the student wishes to continue their education.
