Associate in Science (AS) degrees are offered for individuals who plan to study for approximately 60 credits and then enter the world of work. Those AS degrees marked "Articulated" are transferrable to a state university and count towards a bachelor's degree. Non-articulated AS degrees can be transferred to UCF's Bachelor of Applied Science program after completion of extra courses such as foreign language.
An Associate in Arts (AA) degree is the first 60 credits of a 120-credit bachelor's degree. Both the AA (General) and AA (Transfer Plan) are designed to prepare a student to transfer to a state university. A student with any AA degree can transfer into any major at the university level, but the student must also research the university admission and major requirements to confirm that appropriate courses are being completed.

This is an important research tool for information on accredited four-year colleges and universities in the US. Nearly 1000 in-depth college descriptions include information on the academic program, majors available, cost, college life, athletics, and computers and library resources available.

SEVEN 7 components-Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE)

The Department believes that strengthening educator practice can be achieved by improving talent management systems. The Teacher and Leader Effectiveness (TLE) Continuum is made up of seven components that should be used in comprehensive and systematic ways to improve the quality, quantity, and diversity of the teacher and principal workforce, and most importantly – improve student outcomes. Within the context of a comprehensive TLE system, data about educator practice and student learning obtained from evaluation systems can help inform decisions to prepare, recruit, develop, retain, and ensure equitable access to effective educators.
