AS vs AAS

[29palms]

Traditionally, an AAS usually meant that it was a terminating. It was more geared for students that wished to get in the workforce faster. But it isn't like that anymore. Alot of schools have gone to appllied science degree programs in the Bachelors level. In fact, I'd probably say a good portion of schools have recognized this that students with AAS degrees needed higher educational goals to go to. I was surprised TESC had a BAST in Aviation Maintenance Technology. I bet this was within the last year or two they did this because I had never seen it before when I looked into TESC off and on throughout the years. The bigger question here would..."Does an AAS in AMT differ much from a BAST in AMT?" Is this going to come down to the difference in taking alot of unneccissary math such as college algebra to take, that I'll probably never ever use it?
