The number of credits do not necessarily equate to a degree. It's whether the courses you completed satisfy the degree requirements particular to a specific program of study (major). If you completed the courses at a college or university that offers an associate degree it will be much easier to obtain the degree. It you completed the coursework through various schools it will be more difficult because intuitions have a transfer credit limit. Therefore the institution would require you completed a number of courses in residency. I would be able to give you more information if I knew exactly where you completed your credits. Lastly, if the credits are spread across a number of disciplines, you would want to look at a liberal arts, or exploring the arts and sciences degree where the school will be able to use more of your coursework.

Didn't even know these were offered, but if they do, you would be performing the same functions as someone with a technician's degree, in which case the Bachelor of Technology degree will take preference over the associate of engineering.
What courses are required to receive an associates of applied arts degree?
Answer 1: There is no such thing as an associate of applied arts degree. There is, though, such a thing as an associate of applied science degree. There are, in fact, at the associates degree level, only three types:* Associate of Arts (AA)* Associate of Science (AS)* Associate of Applied Science (AAS)Both the AA and AS degrees are "academic" degrees. The AAS degree is a "career" degree.The AA/AS degree contains from 30 to 45 semester credit hours of what's called "lower division general education" (LDGE); whereas the AAS degree contains perhaps as little as 18 semester credit hours of LDGE.Either the AA or AS degree, therefore, is better suited for transfer into a four-year bachelors degree program, and be counted as the entire first two (freshman and sophomore) years thereof; hence the reason it's called an "academic" degree.An AAS, on the other hand, will be shy of LDGE coursework, and so is not well suited for transfer into a bachelors degree; and the AAS degree holder, in fact, will find himself/herself needing to "catch-up" on LDGE coursework if s/he ever attempts to transfer his/her AAS into a bachelors degree program.The AAS degree, however, because it contains fewer LDGE hours, contains more coursework in whatever is the AAS degree's major (which is why it's considered a "career" degree); and so if said major is in a good career area, then an AAS can actually be a nice degree to have if on plans on entering said career area. However, no associates degree -- be it AA/AS or AAS -- will ever earn someone as much money, or prepare him/her to climb the management ladder, as a bachelors degree.As for what courses are required, that just depends on the school. Go to the website of the school in which you're interested, and find its "catalog" (which is available as both a printed-on-paper and bound softcover book which you can request be sent to you via the US Mail; or which can probably also be downloaded from the school's website as a PDF file). In the catalog you'll find every single thing that you could possibly need to know about the degrees that the school offers, their course requirements and costs, and all the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of the school. It'll all be right there, in the catalog!An associates degree consists of sixty (60) (to maybe 66, depending on the school; usually 60) semester credit hours of coursework. Each class or course is equal to three (3) semester credit hours. Therefore, you will take 10 classes/courses -- five (5) per semester -- per year for two years (a total of 20 courses or classes over four semesters) in order to earn an associates degree.A bachelors degree is simply double those numbers: 120 semester credit hours over four years (eight semesters).

Can an associate's degree course take less than two years to complete?
By taking 15 to 18 semester credit hours per semester, plus 6 to 9 semester credit hours over the summer, you could graduate with an associates degree in less than two years. But the more you take per semester or summer session, the harder it is. Taking 18 semester credit hours per semester, plus any more than six semester credit hour per summer, can, for many students, mean pretty much no social life... just work, work, work... and sleep, of course. I don't recommend it!Figure it like this: An associates degree contains 60 semester credit hours. Most people take 15 semester credit hours per semester, then take the summers off, and by doing that, you graduate in two years......however, if you take 18 semester credit hours (one extra course) per semester, then that, right there, will leave you with just two courses left to take by mid-way through the second year. If you take those two courses during the summer sessions, then you could graduate with 60 semester credit hours in just a year and a half.The goal is to hit 60 semester credit hours (at three semester credit hours per course... so, then, in other words 20 courses for the entire associates degree) however fast you can. But, honestly, it starts to become really hard to do it in much less than a year-and-a-half.
