AA vs ASBA vs AS all have a different area of study, and is a different degree as well. Thus, you need to highlight what is mentioned below in the link you provided... So, grab an AA, AS, ASBA (two of the three), it won't really matter which one you want, and add the certs you would like as well.
First Simultaneous Associate or Baccalaureate Degrees
Students who desire to have two different Thomas Edison State University baccalaureate degrees awarded in the same graduation cycle may do so providing 24 credits are different in the second degree's core/area of study. In addition, all requirements for both degrees must be satisfied.
Students who desire to have two different Thomas Edison State University associate degrees awarded in the same graduation cycle may do so providing 12 credits that are different in the second degree's option. In addition, all requirements for both degrees must be satisfied.
In both cases, the degrees earned must be different degrees, not just a different/additional area of study. For one degree with two areas of study/options, refer to the Two Areas of Study within One Degree policy.
How about?
- BSBA in Finance
- AS in Computer Science
- AA in General Studies
- Certificate in Finance
