Credit When Its Due

Having an associate degree says a great deal about you, from showing the world that you can finish what you started to increasing your income and providing opporutnities for advancement, the associate degree is an important credential, even if you intend to continue on to a bachelor's degree or beyond.  

Within the USG, it is common for students to transfer out of associate degree institutions prior to completing the requirements for the degree. In some cases, students will be successful in earning bachelor's degrees. In many cases, however, students will not complete their bachelor’s degrees, and will become part of the group of adults with "some college, no degree," even though they may have met the requirements for associate degrees.
