"Science" and "Science and Math" make me suspicious of their value and difficulty because they're so generic, and the humanities degrees likely have a lot of overlapping courses.
Plus it's at a CSU.
For a 12-year-old, it's still an accomplishment, but this wouldn't add up to a bachelors at a UC.
It's a 2-year degree, but beyond that it's unclear.
An associates could be a blue collar trade - welding, carpentry, etc. It can also result in a paraprofessional certification - nursing, CAD, etc.
Some students get associates in things like "liberal arts" so they can get general credits out of the way and spend two years at a (more expensive) 4 year school.
They can also specialize and put that towards a 4 year degree.
There's a military college that offers an associates degree in military science. When combined with enrollment in ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) it results in commissioning as a Second Liutentant in the US Army.
So it's pretty much any 2-year degree. Much more flexibility in what that means than with other degrees.
