The original post did not restrict the question to TESU and COSC. The answer depends on the school and thus the cost involved. If you go to a local community college and transfer anywhere else to get a bachelor's degree, obtaining the associate's degree makes sense. It's better to say that you have an associate's degree and are working on a bachelor's degree than only be able to say you have three years of college. The associate's degree shows you finished something. If life gets in the way and the bachelor's degree is delayed, at least you have something.
