What is the different between the Diploma and A.S (Associate in Apply Science)? which one is more popular?

Maybe what you are referring to as "The Diploma" is the Bachelors degree, while the other is the Associate degree?


The former takes usually 4 years to obtain and around 120 credits depending on your institution and its almost considered a standard when you say you went to collage.


The second one takes usually 2 years (half of the credits) and it is only one step slightly higher than a High school diploma (in the eyes of most employers).
