You are totally right. I know that they seem to be similar, but the real thing is that, as you have just said, I don't know if the programs are equal. Thanks for your opinion!

Associate('s) Degree I would be cautious about using the term "Associate('s) degree". Generally, as translators we are not supposed to evaluate titles and degrees (although we would love to). I've had a lot of beef with some evaluation agencies because of said issue. An associate degree might be viewed as a close equivalent of Técnico Superior Universitario, yet, in fact, it's a horse of a different color (two different educational systems, program requirements, number of credits in the program, etc.). However, you might include a translator's note with your suggested translation. Those are my two cents...

What about "Associate's Degree"? I found the following: An associate degree is an academic degree awarded by community colleges, junior colleges, four-year universities, business colleges and some bachelor's degree-granting colleges/universities upon completion of a course of study usually lasting two years. Can I say "Associate in/of Administration" then?
