An MBA HR is an advanced degree in human resources. Students not only gain a deep knowledge of human resources and business, but they also develop leadership skills. Management positions are popular career choices after graduation.

An associate degree is an undergraduate degree offered in the US and a few other countries. Associate degrees are a qualification below a bachelor's degree. Many students earn associate degrees during their first few years of higher education. Since they usually require about two years of study, these degrees can act either as job qualifications or as precursors to more advanced degrees.
