An Associate Degree is a type of undergraduate degree, requiring a minimum of 60 semester credit hours.

You can complete an online associate degree at your own pace; full-time study is equivalent to 4 semesters or 2 years (15 semester credit hours). Accelerated online associate degree programs are available. Online associate degrees are the same as on-campus or in-classroom associate degrees, but the degree can be taken entirely through the Internet or by distance education.

Associate degrees are awarded by a community, junior or technical colleges indicating that you have completed a program of study with a broad base in general education and a concentration in a specific area. Your degree may be in an occupational area (such as Electronics) or in liberal arts (such as an associate degree in science or arts).

专科学历
vocational (or post high school) education (or qualification)


Explanation:
专科学历
专科 = post-high school, post-secondary or tertiary-level education. This encompasses vocational education up to University education. More often than not, employers use this term to mean they want someone with ‘better than high school education background’ but not too high to warrant a very high salary status.
学历 = educational qualification or education achievement; In a broad sense, it falls short from demanding a diploma.

Under this presumption, I would call it
“vocational (or post high school) education (or qualification)”
