Discussion

María Eugenia Wachtendorff (asker) May 1, 2011:
Thanks a lot, Dariusz! I am aware that degree names should not be used :)
Darius Saczuk May 1, 2011:
My two cents I opted for "majors", since later your sentence reads, "planes de estudio...", which, IMVHO, could be rendered as "programs of study" or "courses of study". Using degree names, such as "Associate", "B.A." (why not "B.Sc." by the way?), etc. in this case should be treated as "overinterpretation".
María Eugenia Wachtendorff (asker) Apr 30, 2011:
Muchas gracias a todos por sus respuestas. Se las propondré a mi cliente para que decida, porque el texto que estoy traduciendo irá a universidades de todos los continentes para ofrecer becas de intercambio. Les contaré qué elige él.

associate degree and BA degree programs

Associate's degreeFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
This article needs additional citations for verification.
Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (December 2009)

An associate's degree is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by community colleges, junior colleges, technical colleges, and bachelor's degree-granting colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study usually lasting two years. In the United States and, uncommonly, in Canada, an associate's degree is equivalent to the first two years of a four-year college or university degree. It is the lowest in the hierarchy of post-secondary academic degrees offered in these countries.

Me imagino que puede ser que ambos tipos de carrera tengan contenido técnico y sólo se diferencian en la duración. Es lo que en Venezuela, sería una carrera de "técnico" superior universitario (lo más cercano que he encontrado en inglés es associate degree) y la otra es una carrera universitaria completa para obtener el título de licenciado o ingeniero que aquí dura 5 años, pero en muchos sitios solo 4).

"Some schools—mostly junior colleges and community colleges, but some four-year schools as well—offer an associate's degree for two full years of study, often in pre-professional areas. This may stand alone, or sometimes be used as credit toward completion of the four-year bachelor's degree."

Esto también es educación terciaria. Schools se refiere a universidades o institutos universitarios

Hi, Robin. This was my first thought. However, after checking Orellana's glossary I concluded that the line between vocational and professional is too thin. That's why I posted this question :(
