An associate in arts degree is a general studies degree that prepares you to transfer to a Florida public university as a junior. You’ll complete all of your general education requirements for a bachelor’s and take electives that focus on your intended major. Follow a Degree Pathway which will help you meet many of your upper-division prerequisites.
An associate in science degree helps you gain the skills you need to enter into a specialized career field. Classes teach you theory, but also give you hands-on training. With this type of degree, you’ll have two options: Enter directly into a high-skill, high-wage profession upon graduation, or transfer into a bachelor’s degree program.
A bachelor's degree offers a path to continue your education beyond the associate level. After completing your associate degree, you can move into one of our bachelor’s programs or transfer to a university. This may also include going into a Bachelor of Applied Science program, which incorporates real-world skills to help advance your career.
A certificate program increases your skillset and prepares you for immediate entry into an in-demand career. Many of these programs also offer articulated credits—meaning you earn college credit while taking certificate classes, which can be later applied to a related A.S. degree.
Accelerated Skills Training programs focus on hands-on training designed to help you enter a new career field or advance your current skillset in a short amount of time. Earn industry-recognized credentials, train in essential workplace skills and receive job placement support. It’s your accelerated path to a high-demand, higher-wage career.

Language programs can help you learn another language—for professional or personal reasons. Classes will increase your communication skills in the new language across a wide range of topics. Many programs are available on campus or online, and are offered in different levels—from low beginner to high advanced.
