Associate in Science Degree (AS)
If you decide to pursue a four-year degree, you may be able to transfer some or all of the AS courses taken at HCC. Public universities in Florida now accept seven full AS degrees for transfer including hospitality and tourism management, computer engineering, electronics engineering, nursing, business administration, radiography, and criminal justice. In addition, articulation agreements exist between HCC and various public and private senior institutions for many other AS degree programs such as sign language interpretation, legal assisting, computer science, and early childhood management. See the HCC catalog for details.

Associate in Applied Science Degree (AAS)
The AAS degree is for students who wish to obtain technical expertise within a particular occupation or profession. It is designed to prepare you for career entry or job advancement. The AAS degree does not generally transfer to a four-year college or university. However, some individual AAS courses are eligible for transfer.

College Credit Certificate (CCC)
College Credit Certificate programs are short-term programs that provide highly specialized core knowledge and skills within a particular profession. It is a great option for those who want to advance in a current job or change occupations. The number of credit hours needed to earn a CCC range from 12 to 50.
