Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science Degrees

The associate in science (A.S.) degree is mainly for students who want to enter a professional or technical field in about half the time it takes to earn a bachelor’s degree. Graduates of associate in science degree programs in Florida earn, on average, more money than bachelor’s degree graduates. Some associate in science degrees are also transferable to state universities. See your advisor for more details on university transfer A.S. programs.

The associate in applied science (A.A.S.) degree is similar to the A.S. degree. However, A.A.S. general education requirements are not as rigorous as those in the A.S. Therefore, while the A.A.S. is generally easier to complete, it is not transferable to a university.

The programs below are offered as both associate in science (A.S.) and associate in applied science (A.A.S.) degrees, unless otherwise noted.
