Seminole State is No. 20 out of 5,000 institutions nationwide in the number of students graduating with Associate in Arts (A.A.) degrees.

Community College Week has released its Top 100 list, and Seminole State College of Florida is once again among the top 100 producers of two-year degrees in the nation.

The Top 100 list, published June 12, ranks Seminole State No. 20 in the nation for graduating students with Associate in Arts (A.A.) degrees.

The magazine’s rankings are based on National Center for Education Statistics and represent approximately 5,000 institutions that confer degrees and certificates.

For all degrees, Seminole State is ranked No. 44 for its number of students graduating with an Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree.

In other categories, Seminole State was ranked:

• No. 47 for associate degrees awarded in Nursing
• No. 69 for associate degrees awarded to African-American students
• No. 72 for associate degrees awarded to Hispanic students

Details can be found on Community College Week’s website.

Seminole State was also noted for its minority student success in Diverse: Issues in Higher Education. In May, the college made that publication’s Top 100 list for its number of minority students graduating with an A.A. or A.S. degree.

Fall classes start Aug. 27. You can apply now online.
