Standard freshman and sophomore college courses and
specific junior and senior courses are taught at St. Petersburg
College. Because of the high standard maintained in the classroom by an excellent teaching staff and good physical facilities,
the College has been accredited since 1931 by the Commission
on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools to award Associate Degrees and beginning 2001 to
award Bachelor of Science degrees in Education (Business
Technology, Elementary, Exceptional Student, Secondary
Science, Secondary Mathematics and Technology) and Nursing
and Bachelor of Applied Science Degrees in Banking, Dental Hygiene,
International Business, Orthotics and Prosthetics, Paralegal
Studies, Public Safety Administration, Technology Management
and Veterinary Technology. Thus it is possible for students to
have credits transferred to any college or university that accepts
transfer students.
