Why Should You Earn an Associate’s Degree at Purdue Global?

When you earn an online associate's degree at Purdue Global, you enjoy all the benefits of a college-level education without the added complication or hassle of leaving home to attend classes. The cost of earning an associate’s degree is typically lower than that of a bachelor’s degree, and we are committed to helping you find the financial solution that is right for you.

A Purdue Global associate’s degree can help accelerate your career goals. Because these college degrees are typically completed in 1 to 2 years, an associate’s degree program can help you enter the workforce sooner than committing to a 4-year degree program. Should you choose to continue your education at a later date, you can apply the credits you earned toward a more advanced degree, such as a Purdue Global bachelor's degree.
