Are you considered a 'college graduate' when you get an associate's degree or is that just for people with bachelor's degrees?

Answer

Well, to be considered a graduate it would suggest that you have a BA, and is going for your Masters.If you have an AA then thats just general studies, if you have an AAS that is job studies. AA are really meant just for transfer to a university.

Answer

That isn't true. An Associate's degree would not suggest that you are a graduate STUDENT, to be sure. However, an Associate's degree is still a college degree, and yes--you are a college graduate. An Associate's degree is not altogether helpful when searching for jobs in the professional market, but it is better than nothing. A degree is a degree, and it puts you ahead of those who have not bothered to attain one.

Answer

The most widely accepted public definition of college graduate is someone who has earned a B.S. or a B.A.

Answer
