Eastern Florida State College offers a high quality education close to home — then once you earn your associate degree you can transfer to the college or university of your choice to complete a bachelor's degree (or stay right here at EFSC as a junior in our bachelor programs).
The general Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree is the best choice to transfer directly into most bachelor programs. However, our Associate in Science degrees also provide transfer options through state articulation agreements for select A.S. programs or directly into EFSC's Bachelor of Applied Science degrees and our online RN to BSN degree.
Work with your academic advisor at EFSC and the school where you plan to transfer — this ensures that your associate degree coursework best prepares you to transfer into your intended upper division program.
In the accordion below are several transfer options with a two-year EFSC degree. Eastern Florida has a collection of articulation agreements in place, the formal documents that spell out the transfer process after getting an EFSC degree. FloridaShines, the state's online college advising and records system and a service of the Florida Virtual Campus, also provides invaluable resources on your transfer rights.
