Aspire
In this section:
Aspire Elite is a personalized accelerated program at TSC and FSU that allows students to complete their Associate's (AA) Degree in one academic year or less (3 semesters) with the intent to transfer to FSU.
This is accomplished by utilizing college credit earned in High School to create the most efficient academic plan possible. This is different than the Aspire Traditional program, which typically takes around 2 years to complete the AA.
*Aspire Elite is not FSU Next, which allows students to start at FSU after one 15-credit-hour semester at TSC. FSU Next students do not complete the AA degree for admission to FSU, but Aspire Elite students do.
Who should consider this program?
Incoming freshman with at least 18 earned college credit hours who want to move swiftly through their Associate of Arts degree to transfer to FSU as quickly and efficiently as possible. These 18 hours can come from Dual Enrollment, AP, CLEP, IB, or AICE.
