Associate of Arts - Exploratory

If the students are planning on getting a bachelor’s degree, then the Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree is for them. It’s equivalent to the first two years at a state university. The only difference? At about half the cost, an associate degree from Valencia College is a much more affordable way to start out.

And when student has earned their A.A. at Valencia College, they may choose to stay here to earn their bachelor's degree. They can also transfer to a four-year university as a junior, including the University of Central Florida, which guarantees* admission through DirectConnect to UCF®.
