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 2007 for the 2007-08 school year.

2. Bachelor's Degrees Awarded by a Community College
   
   
   Community colleges have been granted authorization from the Legislature to offer bachelor's degrees in certain areas (Sections 1007.33 & 1004.73, F.S.). Currently, Broward Community College, Chipola College, Daytona Beach Community College, Edison College, Florida Community College at Jacksonville, Indian River Community College, Miami Dade College, Okaloosa-Walton College, Palm Beach Community College, and St. Petersburg College have been approved by the State Board of Education to offer bachelor's degrees.
