I'm trying to figure out which programs at Broward College are best if I'm planning to transfer later. Does anyone have recommendations or insights on programs that align well with transfer opportunities?
There are several programs at Broward College tailored for students intending to transfer to a four-year university. Here are a few noteworthy ones:
1. Associate of Arts (A.A.): This degree is specifically designed to provide a solid foundation of general education coursework that can be transferred to a bachelor's degree program. With an A.A., transferring to a four-year institution should be quite seamless. You can choose a path of study that closely aligns with your intended bachelor's degree.
2. Associate of Science (A.S.): Like the A.A., this degree offers a foundation for transition into a bachelor's degree, but it focuses more on a specific trade or occupation. While it prepares you for immediate workforce entry, many of the A.S. degrees at Broward College are transferable.
3. Bachelor's degree programs: Broward College offers a number of bachelor's degree programs that you can transition into after earning your A.A. or A.S.
4. Direct Connect, a statewide articulation agreement: If you aspire to transfer to a university within Florida, Broward College participates in the Direct Connect program which offers guaranteed admission into a Florida state university upon completion of an Associate's degree.
However, it's important to remember that successful transfer largely depends on the four-year institution you're aiming for and its matching courses or prerequisite requirements. Therefore, it's a good idea to communicate with a transfer advisor before and during your study at Broward College. They can guide you in selecting appropriate coursework based on the particular requirements set by your target university.
