 Degree and Certificate Programs University Transfer Program: Associate in Arts Degree University Transfer Program: Associate in Arts Degree The associate in arts degree (A.A.) 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 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. 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 by the time they have accumulated 24 college credit hours, in order to enroll in the appropriate prerequisite courses needed for transfer to an upper division college or university. Selecting an intended transfer major will also assist students in using FACTS.org. The codes and the intended transfer major will not appear on the college transcripts, 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.

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. Advanced Technical Certificates are designed for individuals who have already completed a degree (at least an associate degree) and are seeking advanced, specialized preparation in a particular career field to supplement their degree. Florida Community College offers Advanced Technical Certificates in a few limited career areas in which advanced training beyond the associate degree level is needed. 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.
