STATEWIDE ARTICULATED A.S. TO B.S. PROGRAMS The University offers five specialized degree programs for students who have graduated from a Florida public community college with an A.S. in the following programs: Applied Science, Criminal Justice Technology, Business Administration, Hospitality Management, and Nursing, Students who wish to transfer to UCF under the provisions of the statewide articulated A.S. to B.S. programs must meet specific criteria: 1. Students must graduate with the specific program and new A.S. in Fall 2000 or later, (Fall 2003 or later for Criminal Justice) from a Florida public community or state college. 2. Students who have graduated with an A.S. prior to Fall 2000 are not eligible to participate in these programs. The pre-2000 community college A.S. programs have slightly different requirements. Students who do not have the new A.S. should complete their general education at the community or state college and then transfer into the appropriate non-A.S. to B.S. program at UCF. 3. Students may only transfer from the specific major to the specific major; e.g., Business Administration to General Business. One cannot, for example, transfer an A.S. in Business Administration to a B.S. in Accounting under this agreement. 4. Students should write on the front of their application for admission to UCF, “A.S. - B.A./B.S.” or select the appropriate major on the on-line application, designating their desire to participate in the articulation agreement. 5. Students earning an Associate in Science have the option of completing the state approved general education program at a Florida community or state college or state university and must request an official transcript with “general education requirements met” on the transcript to be sent to the UCF Registrar prior to their graduating term from the University of Central Florida. Students who chose to complete their general education program at UCF must meet all of UCF’s current course requirements. Students may not be transient in their last 30 of 39 hours at UCF.
