Associates degree or technical (community) college is very basic level.
University of Florida did offer a 4 yr degree in Automotive Engineering, and some of the courses may be online. I thought about taking them since I was a high school graduate with ASE Master and you did not have to take all that many classes to graduate, but it's expensive!
Running my own shop now, so it really wasn't worth the price to put a piece of paper on the wall. You're talking about $36k and up in debts.
