Many of these fields have high demand as people reach retirement age. The faster you head back to school, the faster you can enter your chosen field and begin earning a rewarding living.

What Is the Difference Between an Associate Degree and a Certificate Program?

An associate degree program is structured in such a way that students can use credits to continue their education, pursuing a bachelor’s degree at an accredited four-year school. An associate degree is structured as a two-year program, however, students may take longer if they wish.

A community college certificate program can be completed in as few as two semesters or at any pace comfortable for the student. The certificate programs are designed for students to wish to upgrade and add to their current skill set, improve job prospects, or simply test to determine if the subject is one they would like to pursue an associate degree in.
