Changing the Face of Education: The Value of Associates Degrees
Dan Crow, Eastern Arizona Tech Prep Consortium
What has increased in value over the past several years, yet is not generally highly prized? An Associate Degree.
In July 2002, the US Department of Labor established an interesting fact that supports the value of Associate Degree Programs. During 2000 and 2001, those with at least one Associate Degree were much less likely to be unemployed. We say “much” because in the tracking of unemployment figures a difference of 1% or more is significant!
Contact your local Tech Prep Director for more good reasons to pursue one or more degrees with Arizona’s Community Colleges.
