Answers:
If the associate's degree is in a field other than what you're bachelor's degree will be in, it will show you as having a more rounded education.
Otherwise, no, there's no real reason to get the associate's degree if you're already planning on getting the bachelor's degree. I have two associates degrees and they never seem to make their way on to my resume.
Depends on what you want to do.
If you are unsure of what you want to do and want to see first hand about college life and try some courses- go for Associates. An Associate Degree is also utilized for some who want to go to a good 4-year college, but their grades are not that great. This gives them an opportunity to get their GPA up and then apply for the 4-year college.
Another thing to keep in mind is that some 4-year colleges take a certain number of credits from the 2-year colleges. That means if you have your Associates Degree from college K, then the 4-year college might not take ALL the credits you bring along with you. You might need to re-take classes from the 4-year college.
Hope this answers the question. Good luck!
Most universities will accept you into a program either way. They have to qualify your earned credits, particularly if they are accredited by more than one agency. Most universities require that you complete 55% of your bachelor credits at their Uuniversity, so 6 of your credits will probably not transfer over from the Community College. The upside to this equation is that you received your first 54 credits at considerably less cost that if you had taken the same courses at a university. Second, you got a chance to learn what higher ed means and what is expected of you. Third, your GPA begins all over again after you complete your A/S degree. So if you muffed a few corses at the Community College level, you get a second chance. Last, a downside, you will be meeting all new people and a change in venue brings with it a whole experience of making friends. That process takes time and you'll have to expect that you'll be on your own for a while until you make new friends. I hope that answers your question. You are on the right track by thinking these kinds of questions through before you commit.
