@Insert Name, what Rachel83Az said... There really isn't a need for an Associates when you're going for a Bachelors. Having said that, I usually recommend getting it on route to a Bachelors if you don't need to spend any extra energy, money, time on the Associates, such as getting one from TESU/UMPI, etc... you're going to need to decide if that secondary emphasis is worth it or not, if the associates is in the same subject as the Bachelors, it's redundant and not needed...
If you want to get an Associates at Pierpont, it's best to get an emphasis that you're interested in, say CIS/IT/IS. When you're at UMPI for example, you can add the AALS FREE and get a BAS with a Psychology Minor exclusively by using Study.com, you will need to add a second minor to make this work as you need 30 residency credits at minimum. That gives you two associates with some emphasis, in IT and Liberal Studies or another concentration/minor if you decide on that...
