Pilot program expands options for students seeking four-year degrees

While Florida's public universities boost admission standards and turn away thousands of students, a new 'state college' system is emerging to help more students earn bachelor's degrees.

This year, the Legislature created nine pilot state colleges, community colleges that will transform into schools that offer more four-year degrees. These include Miami Dade College, Edison College in Fort Myers and Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, formerly known as Indian River Community College.
