English term or phrase: Community or Junior College Degree (AA, AS)

Bonjour,

je souhaite adapter ces diplômes dans le cadre d'un questionnaire qui sera rempli par des français mais je n'ai trouvé aucune proposition satisfaisante lors de mes recherches.

Je ne peux pas le laisser tel quel car je dois de toute façon l'adapter.
BTS et DUT me paraissent trop restricitifs car ce sont des diplômes techniques et il me semble que AA a une dimension plus littéraire ou artisitique.
Diplôme de 1er cycle ne me parait pas juste non plus car, avec la réforme des universités, le premier cycle correspond à la licence alors qu'auparavant, cela concernait le DEUG.

Avez-vous une idée ?

Merci

Reference information:
Imo it can't be translated, only explained. The main point is that it is a 2 year degree.

In the United States, a junior college is a two-year post-secondary school whose main purpose is to provide academic, vocational and professional education. The highest certificate offered by such schools is usually an associate's degree, although junior college students may continue their education at a university or college, transferring some or all of the credit earned at the junior college toward the degree requirements of the four-year school.
The term junior college has historically referred to all non-bachelor's degree granting post-secondary schools, but over the last few decades many public junior colleges, which typically aim to serve a local community, have replaced "junior" with "community" in their names. This may give the impression that a junior college must be a private school, but only a small percentage of two-year institutions are private.
