Degree and Certificate Programs
University Transfer Program: Associate
in Arts Degree
The Associate in Arts degree program is for
those whose ultimate goal is to achieve a bachelor's or higher
degree from a university. Also known as the university transfer
degree, the A.A. curriculum is comparable to the freshman and
sophomore years at a university. The majority of courses in this
program are general education — such as English, math,
humanities, science and social studies. The remaining courses
are selected based on the student's intended major and are meant
to satisfy prerequisite requirements for that major. Following
are some popular majors which A.A. students may choose.

Associate in Science degree programs are designed
for those who desire a college-level general education as well
as specific career preparation in a certain occupation. These
programs are designed to prepare students for entry-level work
immediately after completion. The majority of courses in the
A.S. programs are directly related to the student’s career
choice. The remaining courses are general education, such as
English, math, humanities, and social or behavioral sciences.
Several of the College’s A.S. programs are covered by statewide
agreements that allow their articulation to the corresponding
bachelor’s degree program at Florida public universities.
Additionally, the general education component in all A.S. degrees
is fully transferable to four-year programs in Florida.
Associate in Applied Science degrees are also available in some
programs, and provide the same kind of career preparation as
the Associate in Science, but in general will not articulate
or transfer to a four-year institution. General education requirements
are different than for the A.S., and in some cases different
technical and professional courses are required.
The Technical Certificate programs are also designed to prepare
students for entry-level work after completion. Unlike the A.S.
or A.A.S., these programs are usually one year in length and
do not include general education courses except for those directly
related to the student’s career choice.

The Workforce Credit Certificate programs
are for those who want to prepare for a skilled occupation quickly,
without having to take college-credit courses. Program lengths
vary from a few weeks or months to nearly two years, depending
on how much training is required for the specific occupation.
Florida Community College is accredited by the Commission on
Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
to award the associate degree.
