Associate Degree in Technical Communications

["dlang -at- terracom -dot- net" <dlang -at- terracom -dot- net>]

Greetings,

I am an experienced technical writer but currently lack a degree.

I found an online program at Gateway Technical College in Wisconsin that
results in an Associate Degree in Technical Communications:
http://cws.gateway.tec.wi.us/programs/techcomm/Courses/Course_Descriptions/c
ourse_descriptions.html

Since this college is part of a vocational/technical group, some or all of
the credits will most likely transfer to the Wisconsin state college system
later. (I'm verifying this)

My question to the group: in your experience, how marketable is an
associate degree?  Most of the job postings I've seen for tech writers have
required at least a Bachelor's degree.

My areas of specialization include software documentation and instructional
material design, but I am considering transitioning to marketing
communications. 

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide,

Dixie Lang
