Hello,
I just thought I would ask this and see what you thought. What is the difference between getting an Associate's degree and getting a minor within your major? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? I'm currently working towards an Associate in Science in Business mostly by CLEP and DSST, but finishing it at a community college. I doing this over a minor because it seemed like a smaller step than trying to tackle a whole B.A. at once and because I could test out of more classes this way. But I was curious if any of you had any thoughts or experience with this question.
