The University established the associate degree program to assist adults seeking professional or occupational advancement, career entry or redirection, or academic or personal growth. The program is open to adult residents of the Susquehanna Valley region. Classes are offered during evening and weekend hours. Students may attend classes on a part-time or full-time basis. Qualified students may take up to 12 semester hours before applying for degree candidacy. Students who have completed the associate degree may enroll in the bachelor's degree program. All semester hours earned through Susquehanna's evening associate degree program will be applied to the bachelor's degree. Upon completion of the associate degree, students may take up to 12 semester hours as a non-matriculated student. After that, students will pay the stated tuition for the bachelor's degree program. Once enrolled in a degree program, students may not take courses in the other program without special permission from the vice president of academic affairs.

Associate degree courses are not regularly available to Susquehanna undergraduates pursuing bachelors' degrees. Such students who wish to enroll in these courses must secure special approval from the vice president for academic affairs, their academic advisor and the director of continuing education.
