How many associate's degrees are considered equivalent to a bachelor's degree to employers?

An Associates Degree is essentially 60 semester units, and a Bachelors is approximately 120. A semester unit is a semester unit, and the "status" or "category" of a semester unit does not change in the junior or senior years of a bachelors degree program. In other words, a 3 unit class in your freshman year, carries the same weight as a 3 unit class in your senior year. Semester units are semester units. You will find the "equivalent to" scenario posted in many jobs advertised by cities and counties. In some job postings, they will actually give you the total number of semester units required to be "equivalent to" a particular degree program. I have never seen a distinction as to any factor which limits where those semester units came from, as long as it is an acredited college or university (including junior colleges). This said, the computation is simple: A single AA Degree is worth 60 semester units; a second AA Degree is worth an additional 60 semester units, for a total then of 120, and so on. Two AA's then are worth one BA, while four AA's are worth two BA's (4 x 60=240 units). The Human Resource Managers I have spoken to, agree that this is the correct interpretation.

In my opinion, your ultimate goal should be your bachelors since it opens up a lot more opportunities for management and promotions. CISSP is also very valuable since information security is the next logical step in a networking career. Certification are important because they indicate that you have a standardized knowledge level and employers know what they can expect, but they are mostly for short term goals.

If the initials after a name refers to educational attainment, then AS would stand for Associates in Science degree, and BA would stand for Bachelors of Arts degree. However, you do not see AS or BA after ones name. It would really be seen as inappropriate be many institutions and employers. The MA, MS, EdD, and PhD, are usually place after a name particular to many fields and careers. Viper1
