Benefits of AA?

[Aurelius]

Depends on which school you are discussing as to whether there is a benefit, and really what you mean by that.

At TESU, because of the $2000 residency waiver, I don't recommend getting an AA - too expensive. But it's a better deal to get one at COSC.

Normally, it doesn't change the courses required for the BA/BS. Those requirements are what they are, if your AS/AA courses fit into that, then great. Usually, people who want both an AA/BA plan them out so that the credits they get for the AA transfer over seamlessly to the BA. But it just depends on what degree you get your AA in and what you get the BA in.

My understanding is that you only pay the residency waiver at TESU once - so if your ultimate goal at TESU is a BA/BS, you pay the waiver for the AA/BA along the way and won't have to pay it again when you're ready for BA/BS.
