General Requirements and Information

University offers eight specialized degree programs for students who have graduated from a Florida Community College with an A.S. degree in one of the following eight programs: Criminal Justice, Electrical Engineering Technology, Business Administration, Hospitality Management, Computer Engineering Technology - Network Specialization, Liberal Studies, Nursing, and Radiologic Technology.

Students who wish to transfer to UCF under the provisions of the statewide articulated A.S. to B.S. programs must meet specific criteria:

Students must graduate with the specific program and new A.S. in Fall 2000 or later, (Fall 2003 or later for Criminal Justice or Computer Engineering Technology) from a Florida public community college.
Students who have graduated with an A.S. prior to Fall 2000 are not eligible to participate in these programs. The new community college A.S. programs have slightly different requirements. Students who do not have the new A.S. should complete their general education at the community college and then transfer into the appropriate non-A.S. to B.S. program at UCF.
Students may only transfer from the specific major to the specific major; e.g., Business Administration to General Business. One cannot, for example, transfer an A.S. in Business Administration to a B.S. in Accounting under this agreement.
Students should write on the front of their application for admission to UCF, "A.S. - B.A./B.S." designating their desire to participate in the articulation agreement.
UCF will allow students to complete the UCF required General Education courses at their community college while they are enrolled and working on their degree at UCF. However, students cannot be transient in their last 30 hours at UCF.
Students with an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) are not eligible for participation in these programs unless they also have the appropriate A.S.

Applicants who qualify for this program are not guaranteed admission to the limited access programs in Nursing and Radiologic Sciences or programs that require specific grades in particular courses for admission.

Students should consult with their community college advisor when pursuing one of these programs to make sure they have met all of the appropriate requirements for the degree, including the necessary General Education courses and common program prerequisites. Students are still required to complete all of the components of the Gordon Rule and CLAST prior to graduation from UCF. Students may be required to complete all common program prerequisites for these majors prior to enrollment in upper division course work. The total hours required for the General Education Program (GEP) will be 36 hours, excluding any necessary remediation.

Students admitted into these programs must meet the requirements as stated in the programs listed below. Students who change majors out of these programs must adopt the requirements of the most current catalog for the selected major, including the required UCF General Education Program.

Questions concerning the requirements of these majors should be referred to the appropriate academic department or the Director of Transfer and Transition Services, (407) 823-2231.
