An associate degree is an academic degree awarded by community colleges, junior colleges, business colleges and some bachelors degree-granting colleges/universities upon completion of a course of study usually lasting two years.

In the United States and, more rarely, Canada, an associate degree is equivalent to the first two years of a four-year college or university degree.

Associate of arts and Associate of science are two-year undergraduate degrees offered by many community colleges or junior colleges in the United States. Such degrees transfer to four-year institutions which offer full bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees.

Typically, the associate degree takes between 60-64 credits to complete depending on the state mandate, and program of study.
