Programs of Study
The state of Florida has adopted common prerequisites
for each major that are required at all 11 state universities.
These courses should be completed as part of the associate in
arts degree (A.A.). It is also important to note that for all
the same majors, each university may have different admission
requirements in addition to the common prerequisites. In some
universities, common prerequisites must be completed in order
to be admitted into a program. These programs are identified
as Limited Access. Contact a counselor or advisor for more information
about each major.
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, mathematics, humanities,
science and social studies. The remaining courses are selected
based on the student’s intended transfer major and are
meant to satisfy prerequisite requirements for that major. Following
are some intended transfer major areas which A.A. students may
choose. This list is not a complete list of possibilities. See
a counselor or advisor for other areas of interest.
(Intended Majors)
The following list of intended transfer majors has a unique three-digit
code for each intended transfer major. All Associate in Arts
degree students are encouraged to select an intended transfer
major, in order to enroll in the appropriate prerequisite courses
needed for transfer to an upper division college or university.
The codes and the intended transfer major will not appear on
the college transcript, but will be used during enrollment
at Florida Community College to assist in advising and communicating
with students. The intended transfer major code can be selected
during the application process and changed, at the student’s
request. Changes in intended transfer majors can affect the
prerequisite courses needed for the transfer major.

To meet the A.A. degree requirements and
course/ admission requirements to a university, it is important
that each A.A. student identify an intended transfer major and
transfer institution as soon as possible. Admission to a university
is based on proper selection of the required courses and meeting
the admission criteria. Students transferring to a Florida university
should complete the associate in arts degree (36 credits of general
education/CLAST), the common prerequisites (some common prerequisites
may also meet general education requirements), and obtain the
admission criteria to be successful in the transfer process.
All students are encouraged to contact a counselor or advisor
for more information about each intended transfer major. Program
specific information is available on the individual institution’s
Web site and through academic advising on each campus. Students
should be aware that program eligible courses are determined
by the receiving institution.
The following degree plans are designed as examples of four Associate
of Arts pathways for university transfer. Please contact a counselor
or advisor for more information.
