An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Business is an associate’s degree. As an undergraduate program, it’s the next stage after secondary school. Some learners use it as a platform to progress to a bachelor’s degree: you can stack a Nexford’s fully online AAS program by continuing with our Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree, for example.
