That's an AAS for ya.
An AAS or AOS, has totally different requirements.

so I'd be sure to grab that degree ASAP while that degree exists....or you'll be starting back over on a bachelor's degree with only 15 credits and some electives. (been there done that!)

I have an AAS in Electronic Technology from a community college, and had to take all of the classic liberal arts core classes in addition to my area of focus credits. I am so glad that I did, since ppl I know that went to a pure tech school ended up with only 15 credits toward their BS. Most never persued their BS because they would have to essentially start over again.

I fully agree with you on grabbing that degree and running. I would bet anything that this degree will be changed drastically in the next year or so, when the word gets out that you can get a two year degree with only one semester of work, and a buch of fluffy tests.
