theXodus,
Why would you prefer an AS over an AA?
Normally, an AA is more widely accepted in transfer as satisfying general education requirements. Though an AS is a two year degree, it is usually focused in a narrow area such as nursing (or another trade). People with an AS in nursing cannot transfer into their local university as a junior seeking a degree in psychology. That requires an AA or having met the general education requirements for that specific college.
Some AS degrees are more comprehensive than some AA degrees. Some NA schools are better than some RA schools, but it does not change the system. The system is black and white. Did I ever mention I have no respect for academic advisors?
