FCCJ offers three kinds of college credit degrees for degree seeking
students - the associate in arts (A.A.), the associate in science
(A.S.) and associate in applied science (A.A.S.). Students who
want to transfer to a four-year college or university pursue an
AA degree. Students who want to obtain a degree in a specified
area of expertise pursue an AS or A.A.S. degree. Non-degree seeking
students are not trying to earn a degree. They may be taking classes
for work advancement, to transfer credit back to another college
or for personal enrichment.
