@tuckerarabi786, in addition to what was mentioned, the associates degree isn't looked at once you get to the master's level, it's like asking someone starting high school, which preschool they went to... You need to systematically get things done in orderly fashion, undergrad then grad, pronto!
Advice and guidance are what we're here for... It seems you're going in multiple directions, so you need an action plan. You want to get the best of everything, cheap, easy, fast and with the most ROI/Value by laddering the Associates > Bachelors > Masters of your choice. What are you trying to do now? It seems we're focusing on the beginning when you were already focused on the end result, the Masters in a previous thread...
Again, to keep things short, I'm going to copy/paste my post from here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid378162
"You really need to have your options open, I would suggest listing yourself 3 top choices and have 3 backup options just in case something happens or if the application you have isn't strong enough. Make sure to "hit" all the requirements for each of them if not more..."
My suggestion, get the TESU Double Degree (BACS/BSBA CIS), then go for your top 3 Masters from EdX and top 3 Masters from Coursera. One of these are from an Ivy League school, most of the top 3 choices are from Top 25-50 schools in the nation. So don't stall on looking at which "associates" will look better on your resume, you'll be omitting that altogether, it's the Bachelors/Masters that will count...
