2+2 Program

What is the 2+2 Program?
Florida's higher education system is designed to allow students to successfully pursue a bachelor's degree by first attending a community college and then transferring to a 4-year institution. This approach to earning a 4-year degree is commonly referred to as the 2+2 system. The state of Florida guarantees that students who complete an AA degree at a community college have the opportunity to enroll in and earn a bachelor's degree at a state university.

The USFSM 2+2 program is designed to assist students who are earning either an Associate in Arts (AA), an articulated Associate in Science (AS) degree or 60 transferable hours with their transition to USF Sarasota-Manatee.
