1Year or lessCertificate ProgramsGet started on a new career with specialized training that you can finish in one year or less. Our certificate programs can help you gain entry-level employment in a wide variety of fields. Certificate (college credit) and applied technology diploma credits also can go toward an associate of science (AS) degree as you continue your path to greater opportunity.

Associate DegreesFor many of our students, their Daytona State College experience takes them on a pathway. Some start with a certificate that will prepare them for entry into their field of interest. From that waypoint, they move on to an associate of science degree that offers them advanced study and opportunity for career enhancement. Others continue after earning their AS degree, transferring into one of our 11 bachelor’s degree programs in supervision and management, engineering and information technology, education or nursing.

2 Years

4 YearsBachelor’s DegreesOur bachelor’s degrees are developed under a 2+2 model. That means you earn your associate degree first, then transition into upper-level baccalaureate studies during your junior and senior years. Many of our bachelor’s degree students take advantage of internships and cooperative education opportunities while in school. It’s why a majority of our four-year graduates land jobs in their field within three months of earning their degrees. They’re able to hit the ground running and perform on the job right away.

Still in High School? Try Dual Enrollment If you are a local high school student looking to jumpstart your college education, then Daytona State’s Dual Enrollment program may be right for you. Dual Enrollment is an accelerated program that allows you to simultaneously earn credit toward high school completion and college credit toward a certificate or an associate degree. In fact, many of our dual-enrolled students complete all or most of their associate degree while still in high school, saving their parents a ton of money. We can’t think of a better way to justify an increase in your allowance!

Let’s get startedGet from start to finish, your way.With over 100 programs to choose from, we have the right program for you, designed to help you move ahead on your career pathway with flexible opportunities for employment.
