To PHSC
Transitioning to a new college can be both exciting and challenging. PHSC offers dedicated support services to ensure a smooth transition and successful integration into the academic environment. The goal is to provide the tools and resources needed for student success.
From PHSC
Courses completed at PHSC transfer to any institution within Florida’s state college or university system. Students often ask whether they should complete their Associate in Arts (AA) degree before transferring to a university.
Completing the AA degree at PHSC offers several advantages:
- Guaranteed university acceptance in Florida
- Completion of all general education, Gordon Rule, and summer attendance requirements
- Guaranteed transfer of at least 60 credits toward a bachelor’s degree
- Lower tuition costs compared to universities
Key Information
PHSC provides an affordable and convenient way to complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree. The 60-credit-hour AA degree mirrors the freshman and sophomore courses at Florida’s public universities. Upon completing the AA, students are guaranteed admission as juniors at one of Florida’s public universities or state colleges, though admission to specific universities or programs is competitive, especially for limited access programs.
