In an effort to identify both the obstacles to the Associate degree’s universal acceptance as the equivalent of the first two years of senior college/university study and to suggest specific steps at the state, system, and institutional levels that might address these barriers, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) collaborated on a survey of their respective memberships, comprising presidents and other administrators, faculty, and others at both two- and four-year colleges. The survey demonstrated a high degree of consensus among those surveyed with respect to both the barriers standing in the way of a revitalized Associate degree and strategies capable of removing existing barriers.
