clarification on "major / minor"

[CarpeDiem8]

A Bachelors minor concentration will contain Upper Level courses, the Associates are all Lower Level.

This nails it on the head. 

In building my degrees, I noticed that most of what comprised the Comp Sci AOS in the ASNAM is all "Intro to X" coursework. That's hardly much of anything, at the end of the day.

Then I'd love to hear the motivation behind us all getting the additional associates degree when we are pursuing a BA/BS. It is just because it's cheaper to, to avoid fees by graduating together with them, etc, and NOTHING more than that?

Is this leading to a better argument to pursue dual bachelors' degrees at the same time instead?

Thanks,
