Associate in Arts
South Florida Community College is committed to a comprehensive university-transfer program that provides opportunities for intellectual, cultural, and social growth along with specialized learning.
South Florida Community College awards the Associate in Arts Degree (A.A.) if you complete a prescribed two-year program which is designed to transfer to the upper division of public universities and colleges. According to the Florida Articulation Agreement, if you have earned an A.A. degree, you have met the general education requirements for admission to the upper division of Florida’s public universities and will be admitted with full junior standing, provided you also have passed the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) requirements, or have qualified for a CLAST alternative, paid all fees, and met academic standards. You should investigate transfer requirements of the upper division school or college you plan to attend as early as possible in order to fit the appropriate courses into your program at SFCC.
If you have completed specialized prerequisites, you are able to continue that specialty at the transfer institution. Should you not maintain continuous enrollment, you will be subject to all new rules and regulations adopted by the college since your last admission date.
The A.A. degree is awarded if you meet the following requirements:
- Applied for graduation and paid graduation fee;
- Completed a total of 60 or more hours of college credit courses which includes 36 credit hours of general education requirements and 24 credit hours of electives;
