Joint Admissions Programs are designed to build a better bridge from an associate's to a bachelor's degree. MCC negotiates agreements with public and private institutions that assure their academic advisors will offer special guidance for the 75 percent of MCC students who go on to enroll in a bachelor's program. One example is the Joint Admissions Program with University South Florida Sarasota/Manatee, a regional branch of the huge research university, where 65 percent of MCC's graduates go to turn their A.A. into a B.A.

2 + 2: MCC + University
After just two years at MCC, you can be halfway to completing your bachelor's degree at a four-year college or university. Earn a degree in MCC's university-transfer associate in arts program, and you're guaranteed admission as an entering junior at one of Florida's 11 state universities. Course numbers at MCC are identical to those at state universities. Many more institutions, including some private universities, participate in a common numbering system. This makes it easy to transfer credits earned in an A.A. degree.
