Professor: Degree brings in the bucks By LAURA VIANI Collegian Staff Writer An associate degree increases in come by 20 percent more than a high school degree, according to a recent study by I.A. Ghazalah, professor of economics at Ohio University. People with associate degrees are in demand because their degree gives them more technical training than a high-school education, he said. Gha zalah said many people work for a while and then realize the benefits of an associate degree. The average age of people in the study was 28, he said. At Penn State, the number of peo ple enrolled in associate degree pro grams has increased. This year, 3,546 have enrolled in the associate degree programs, as compared to last year's 3,369 an increase of 5.3 percent. University Assistant Vice-Presi dent E.J. Greskovich, who is in charge of associate degrees in engi neering technology, said the increase at the University may be due to recruitment. Methods of recruitment include the use of videotapes. correspondence with high school counselors and up dating brochures. rwo rwo rnoz rwr. rixo FIKO 1110$ 11101:0 FIKO Dear Guys, (Jet Psyched for The 3RD e ANNUAL BEST BUNS CONTEST! • Dress , \ppropnotrly We II Re Looking Foi\\ lo See 1'ou!

Arnold Amason & Howard Bellingham. Co-Chairmen "Many people aren't aware of (the associate degree programs), so we are embarking on a marketing pro gram to help people become more aware. - he said. The three types of associate de grees offered at the University arts, engineering, and science re quire four semsters for completion. They are offered through the col leges, but are designed differently than the baccalaureate degrees, Greskovich said. "These programs are meant for students with more practical, hands on ability," Greskovich stated. For example, he said, engineering students can get their bachelor's and master's degrees at some school without much laboratory experience, emphasizing the theoretical implica tions of engineering. This leaves a hole in the market for people with technological experience, allowing associate degree graduates to fill the positions of technicians. Since these programs are techni cally oriented, they are organized around market and economy needs. Degree majors can be created or eliminated according to market ne cessity, he said.
