Florida Keys Community College
Island Living, Island Learning
Getting a high-quality education and enjoying a naturally beautiful locale are not mutually exclusive endeavors. There is a place where you can get the training and skills you need for an exciting career or prepare to transfer to a four-year college or university, while basking in the tropical sun and wading in warm ocean waters. That place is on the charming island chain of the Florida Keys, at the southernmost learning institution in the continental United States—Florida Keys Community College.
When you combine a faculty of experts, each with years of professional experience, the natural resources accessible only in the Florida Keys, and the famously charming Keys lifestyle, you get what we like to call, “Island Living, Island Learning.”
FKCC has three locations (see below), as well as a Virtual Campus.
Associate in Arts Degree (Transfer Degree)
