Is an associate's degree better than a minor?

Yes and No

It is more impressive to have a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and an Associate's Degree in Spanish, than a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and a minor in Spanish.

Associate vs. Minor

This question is somewhat like asking whether cake with icing is tastier than banana bread.

When seeking a Bachelor's Degree, the minor studies are an 'influence' on the main study, and should not be interpreted as a specialty.

With an Associate Degree, you are specializing in a certain expertise, often with a more compact and intense schedule of study, without unrelated satellite courses.
