The Associate of Business Administration degree is often awarded for programs that are terminal, but may also be intended for transfer to a four-year college or university, usually with a major in one of the business majors. The Associate of Occupational Studies degree is for students who intend to enter the work force upon graduation. There are generally no liberal arts requirements for this degree. It is possible to categorize associate degrees by their liberal arts requirements. For example, New York State classifies its programs as follows: [2] Associate in Occupational Studies A.O.S.: no courses in the liberal arts and sciences. Associate in Applied Science A.A.S.: one-third of the work shall be in the liberal arts and sciences. Associate in Science A.S.: one-half of the work shall be in the liberal arts and sciences. Associate in Arts A.A.: three-quarters of the work shall be in the liberal arts and sciences. The associate degree is most often awarded to pleting educationally broad based post secondary programs requiring at least one but generally no more than two years of full-time study.[citation needed] In some instances, particularly allied health programs, three years is the norm. For students who place into developmental sometimes called pre-college or remedial courses, the time will be extended since these credits will not apply toward the associates. A lesser diploma, called a certificate, is awarded for specific studies plete in a one year program or less, for example certification in a particular subfield of information technology may only run for four to six months. However, for an associates degree it is not unusual for students to study part time, and therefore take more than two years plete the degree. According to fall 2004 IPEDS data, 61 percent of munity colleges students are enrolled part time. To modate working students, most munity colleges offer required course during evening and weekend hours and, increasingly, online the Sloan Consortium reports that 51% of all degrees earned online are associates degrees[1]. Many persons in the workforce earn bachelors and the practice of evening studies is so prevalent in the United States that the numbers of Masters degrees as well as post graduate degrees like Law degrees earned in evening classes frequently out number those awarded for full day-time study[citation needed]. Wittstruck 1975 notes that the associates degree goes by several different names formally: Data on associate degrees are frequently disaggregated by curriculum: vocational or nonvocational. The Higher Education General Information Survey HEGIS counts nonvocational degrees under the category Arts and Sciences or General Programs; vocational degrees are counted under six headings: According to recent US Department of Education data, over half a million associates degrees were awarded in the US academic year 1999-2000; this was approximately one-fifth 19.1 percent of the 3,010,714 degrees conferred. A total of 573,620 associates degrees were conferred by Title IV degree-granting postsecondary institutions in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas that year; men earned 228,958 and women earned 344,662. Most associates are conferred by public institutions. Of the 573,620 noted above, 452,933 were earned at public institutions, 48,463 were earned at private not-for-profit institutions, and 72,224 were earned at private for-profit institutions.
