Florida Poly works with state and community colleges to develop special agreements for students transferring from these institutions (for some or all of our programs). Students interested in transferring to Florida Poly from a State College should connect with Florida Poly Admissions to understand transfer pathways. Specific agreements are noted below.
Polk State College
SPECIAL NOTE: The following agreement with Polk State College is currently under review to expand opportunities for students. Future changes will err on the side of being more inclusive.

Credits completed at PSC will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for applicability to the current Business Analytics program requirements at Florida Poly.
Specific standards for admissions must be met to ensure full access to the agreement; however, if other admissions standards are met, the following general equivalencies will pertain.
