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)
The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree is an ideal way to start fulfilling your first two years of academic requirements before transferring to a four-year degree program.
Often referred to as the "university transfer" or "general studies" program, our A.A. degree allows you to begin your bachelor's degree study while enjoying the small, intimate learning environment characteristic of a community college, as well as the unique "island living, island learning" experience only available at FKCC.
