Associate in Arts

The AA degree program is a 60 credit hour program designed to prepare students for transfer to a university. Transfer of credit with an AA degree to the State University System is guaranteed by the Florida Statewide Articulation Agreement. PHCC’s AA degree program provides academic courses that are equal in content and quality to those at Florida’s state universities. Specific admission requirements apply to students wishing to enter this program.
