I've worked for a company for well over 3 years, I've been in the same position, we had a change in management a few months ago, he just decided to change our job descriptions to require an associates degree. I go above and beyond and am more than capable of performing my tasks, is it legal to do this?

Unless you have a contract which limits your employer's right to fire you, or you believe that you are being discriminated against for some reason prohibited by statute (e.g. race, religion, gender, etc.), your employer can fire you at any time and for any reason, including not having an associates degree.
