Associates of Applied Science. The terminology A.S.S. is no longer used (or very infrequently), and has been replaced with the A.A.S. degree. The reason they used A.S.S. is to differentiate from an Associates of Arts and Sciences, but now they just award 2 degrees for those that get an Arts one and a Science one.

A diploma is what you get out of high school.  It is also a certificate of some form of completion/graduation.\n\nA degree means you have been educated at a college or university in some specific field and you are now well educated in that area. (ie, a college degree in biology or something)\n\nA degree is better.  You can get higher ranges of degree, associate, bachelor, master, doctorate.  That is the ranking of degrees.

An Associates Degree is a 2 year college degree generally obtained from a junior college. A Bachelors Degree is a 4 year degree from a University. There is a major difference in the income level between an Associate Degree level job and a Bachelors Degree level job. Many jobs require a Bachelors Degree and won't even accept applications from those without the Bachelors Degree.

A Bachelor's degree is just that, a 4 year degree and a Bachelor's degree with honors is the same thing but you get the degree at the top % of the graduating class.

An associates degree is a two year degree. It is most common at community colleges and junior colleges. AA degrees tend to be more technical and may be job training degrees. Some are meant to be earned by people who want to go for a four year degree.\n\nBachelor's degree is typically a four-year degree. There are a lot of varieties of four-year degrees with somewhat different names (Bachelor of Arts is usually a liberal arts degree, for example). There are a few bachelor's degrees that are five years--the bachelors of architecture is one, I think. \n\nMasters degrees are gradute degrees, which are degrees you get after you get a bachelors degree. Usually this is a one or two year degree program.\n\nDoctoral degrees are terminal academic or professional degrees. There are many, the most common is the doctor of medicine (MD) and the doctor of philosophy (PhD). They take 4-7 years after the bachelors degree.

A BS degree in biochemistry is helpful, but it is a tough major.  There is a lot of overlap between biochemistry and microbiology, so a lot of people double major in both.  I have a degree in biology and am a biochemist by profession.  Biology is a much easier degree.

some associate degree takes 60-70 credit hours and bachelors degrees takes twice the associate degree credit but it becomes half when you finish the perequisite in a college before transfering to University.\nget the degree plan sheet of your program from the website of the univ. you want and compare with an associate degree plan.

Its called B.S and M.S in the US for undergrad and masters respectively (B.Sc and M.Sc in the UK). As far as my knowledge goes all B.Sc degrees in UK are 3 years. Unlike the US where the first year is spent studying subjects from other majors, in the UK students start studying courses from their respective major (for which they enrolled) right from the first day.\n\nUS grad. schools usually require 16 years of education (highschool + undergrad). Hence having a B.Sc from the UK may eliminate you from applying to some of them unless you are going to Cambridge, Oxford etc. which are well renouned.\n\nUS undergrad education is more well rounded and much tougher than UK's. This may differ based on what you want to major in, but overall for example in Engineering US education is way ahead!
