Hi all, I am an enrolled excelsior student and i have a question about the degrees. I was originally enrolled for the associate degree then found through the advisors that i could get credit for fire academy if i switched to the associate of applied science.Is there a difference between the two degrees?does it matter wich one you have?The requirements for both are the same .the advisor said they have more freedom to give credit in the aa degree.It helped me cause it was one less prereq i needed to take.I called the ohio state board of nursing and they didnt seem to have a problem with it.Any thought? thanks, Matt
