Bachelor’s Degrees

There are two ways to get a bachelor’s degree at a Florida Community College:

1. Bachelor's (or Higher) Degrees Offered by Four-Year Colleges & Universities

   In most cases, bachelor's or higher degrees offered at community colleges are provided through partnerships between the community college and public or private four-year institutions. Courses are taken on the community college campus or via distance learning, and the degree is awarded by the partnering four-year institution. Some community colleges have even established on-site "university centers" where students may receive academic advising, financial aid assistance, and other student services. Click on the link below for a list of community college baccalaureate programs and concurrent-use partnerships (bachelor's degree or higher) self-reported by community colleges as of April 2008 for the 2008-09 school year.
