Honors Certificate Program

Similar to the Honors Diploma Program, the Certificate Program is designed for Associate in Science Degree students and academically talented students whose majors, such as chemistry, nursing, music, physics, etc., require a strict course of study.

Science Merit Diploma and Science Diploma Programs

Recommended by Florida universities, these programs combine eight challenging science and math courses, along with a Science Seminar course, to provide a diverse educational foundation that includes the entry-level courses required for continued study in most math, science, engineering and health fields.

Phi Theta Kappa
