Editing Associate degree (section)

===Argentina===
In Argentina, tertiary colleges ("institutos terciarios") offer associate degrees in a variety of areas, including elementary and high school teacher, and technical fields, upon completion of three or four years of study. Some of these degrees may be articulated with university programs, to obtain a bachelor degree after, usually, two additional years. Associate degrees are also offered by some universities, as a final degree or as an intermediate stage before a bachelor degree.

In Hispanic America, an associate degree is called a ''carrera técnica'', ''tecnicatura'' or ''Técnico Superior Universitario'' (TSU), while a bachelor's degree would be known as a ''licenciatura'' or ''ingeniería''.
