Associates Degree Conferral Question

[dhallfootball21]

First, I'm confused about what AA you're getting - you have an AA capstone listed, but I don't think you need that.

Second, I can't figure out why you're taking all the CJ courses? Unless that's the AAS you're getting?

Third, I can't figure out why you're getting all of these degrees?  Like, why get a BSOL and a Cert in General Management?  That doesn't make a ton of sense.

I guess I can't see why anyone would want all of these degrees? Is it just degree collecting? Or are you actually planning on doing something with these disparate degrees at some point?

Thanks for the response, here is a little background on myself. I started out shooting toward a history degree trying to finish in 14 months. Upon graduating high school I received a couple of division 1 football scholarship offers but I could not go without sitting out for a year due to my eligibility status. I also had numerous JUCO football offers. My dad graduated from Excelsior 20 years ago and suggested I train during covid and get a degree from one of the big three instead of going to a junior college. I was like the big what? Never heard of them. I originally planned on conferring an AA quickly as that was the minimum requirement by the NCAA in order for me to be eligible to play immediately and sign a scholarship. The whole situation ended working out great as I'll be conferring (AA, GM-Cert, OPM-Cert) by the March Deadline. I will be finished with (BA-History, BSOL) by the June deadline and hopefully (AAS-Applied Computer Studies, BA-Computer Science, CIS cert, Criminal Justice cert) by the August cutoff before the start of the next football season.

I currently view education in the breath as I view money. In my eyes, you can't have enough of it. Some may consider it overkill to go all out and get numerous degrees and undergraduate certs but if it is only costing a minimal amount more than what I'm already paying why not take a little extra time and get a maximum return on your investment. You never know what future career opportunities such as internships, cross-agency details, etc will present themselves, and having a credential on your transcript could be the difference between making the cut and not.
