Associate in Arts Overview
Florida Keys Community College’s associate in arts (A.A.) transfer degree is designed for the student who plans to transfer to a Florida public university as a junior to complete a bachelor’s degree. Students spend the first two years at FKCC, where they prepare for hundreds of possible transfer majors, then their last two years at a university.
During their two years at FKCC, students take the same courses that they would take as a freshman or sophomore at a university. That means a student plans his/her program of study around a planned major or career and the state university he/she wants to attend. A student graduates with an A.A. degree from FKCC, transfers to a university, and earns a bachelor’s degree in one of hundreds of different major areas available at the state universities.
A list of popular Associate In Arts transfer plans are found below.
