What is associate of applied technology degree?

Answer 1

An Associate's in Applied Technology (AAT) is the same thing as an Associate's in Applied Science (AAS). To get an AAT, you must choose a major to study. About 15 of the classes for the AAT will be classes related to your major, and about 5 classes will be general education classes like Math and English. An AAT degree is for people who would like to only go to college for 2 years before working full-time. It is not for people who want to pursue a Bachelor's Degree. The pros: AAT degrees are awarded at technical colleges, which are very inexpensive. Also, you only take classes for 2 years. The cons: Bachelor's degrees are becoming more and more necessary for success, and an AAT may not be advanced enough for your career goals.
