AA Degrees AS Degrees Certificates

Plugging the PipelineAA Transfers to the State Universities The dramatic growth in Florida College System enrollments is proportionally

increasing the number of AA graduates. A gap is starting to grow between the number of AA graduates seeking to

transfer and transfer admissions to the State University System. State universities will need to increase the number of transfer seats available to

meet demand for junior level transfers.
