Degree pathways are a planned course of study that includes suggested courses to satisfy Valencia's general education requirements for the A.A. degree and the statewide common program prerequisites (CPPs) for the specific bachelor's program or major, enabling transfer to the University of Central Florida or another specified Florida public institution.
Completion of a degree pathway does not guarantee admission to an upper-division program if that university program has restricted access or limited-access status. Students who plan to transfer to a restricted-access or limited-access program are responsible for completing the specific requirements for their transfer program.
Financial Aid
Some degree pathways include coursework beyond the minimum required credits for the degree, which may affect a student's financial aid enrollment status. Courses count toward a student's financial aid enrollment status only when they apply directly to the degree. The A.A. degree requires 36 credits of general education and 24 credits of electives. Courses that do not apply to the A.A. degree cannot be included in a student's enrollment status for financial aid purposes. This situation may occur when students have:
- Completed prerequisite coursework previously,
- Changed academic pathways or intended majors, or
- Transferred coursework that does not apply to A.A. requirements.
Valencia offers the following degree pathways:
