[edit] History
The University of South Florida Lakeland was established in 1988 as a joint campus with Polk Community College, it serves over 2,000 students offering over 20 complete undergraduate and graduate degrees through the areas of Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering, and Information Technology. The campus also supports a number of individual classes, electives, web-based courses, certificate programs and program partnerships with the main campus in Tampa.[1]
USF Lakeland partners with Florida public community colleges including Polk Community College, South Florida Community College and Hillsborough Community College-Plant City to provide a 2+2 education. Specifically, this partnership allows students to obtain their first two years (Associate of Arts-A.A. or Associate of Science-A.S.) from the local community college then complete their baccalaureate and/or graduate degree through USF Lakeland. This collaboration allows students to obtain a 4-year degree, as well as a graduate degree, without leaving their community.[2]
