Also called an occupational degree, "Applied Associate" degrees teach students a specific trade that will allow them to get a job immediately after graduation in their field of study. Although these programs generally prepare students for immediate work, the credits can usually still be transferred into a bachelor’s degree program if the student wants to go on to higher study. Some possible career options with an Applied Associate degree include locksmithing, mechanical drafting, gardening and landscape design, graphic design, and commercial and industrial maintenance. Associate degrees in business or technology could also give current employees an advantage over their co-workers for promotions or other recognition.
