A.S. and A.A. dual degree

[BrendaB]

Yes you can get the Associates of Arts and the Associates of Science in Business Administration at the same time.  Neither of those require an associates capstone, but they both have the same cornerstone, there's no if/or/buts about that...  My recommendation however is, if you are going for a BALS or BSBA, to graduate at the same time (2 Associates along with your Bachelors) unless of course, you have paid for the 16 credits to remove the residency waiver fee, otherwise, if you can't graduate in a year of graduating the Associates, you'll need to pay a second residency waiver fee...

Thank you for the information.   BTW, I can't seem to open up the BALS sheets

Thanks for the link.

There's no reason to get both of those.  The distinction is basically meaningless.

I was thinking that an ASBA is more valuable than just an A.A.  However, if later on my son decides to finish his BSBA or some other Bachelor's degree, then an A.A. would be useful to avoid taking GE requirements. I am not sure if that is correct or not.   What are your thoughts?

Hmm... It's personal preference, I would recommend getting the BALS or BSBA and having the associates added free.  
And some people can't wait or may not be able to finish in time for the residency waiver to be used for the Bachelors.
If you really need some paper and may not finish the Bachelors, go for the Associates at COSC or Pierpont if you have RA credits.

Some would rather get a double associates rather than not getting anything at all...
I'm not here to stop you from your goals, just wanting you to not waste your energy/money and time on just the associates.
