<strong>Hillsborough</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>: <strong>Ybor</strong> Campus<br />

A. Associate in Science<br />

The main goal of the Associate in Science Program is to be responsive to the needs of the<br />

workforce. As a result, the Associate in Science Program offers a wide variety of technical degree<br />

and certificate programs. The A.S. is designed to serve local workforce needs, and new<br />

programming is typically developed to respond to local market need and/or the Florida Agency for<br />

Workforce Innovation’s Regional Targeted Occupational List, which is published annually. If a<br />

program is proposed that is not on the list, an individual campus must complete a study<br />

documenting a need.<br />

At the HCC <strong>Ybor</strong> <strong>City</strong> Campus, there are several unique programs administered within the<br />

Associate in Science Department. These programs include the following:<br />

- Criminal Justice Technology (AS & AAS)<br />

- Fire Science Technology (AS & AAS)<br />

- Early Childhood Management (AS & AAS)<br />

- Computer Programming (AS & AAS)<br />

- Paralegal Studies (AS & AAS)<br />

- Business Administration (AS & AAS)<br />

- Office Systems Technology (AS & AAS)<br />

Most of the classes within the program are concentrated in the Child Development Center and the<br />

Public Service Technology Building. The Fire Academy is now located at the new Columbus Drive<br />

Special Purpose Center, which was purchased in 2006. This facility also houses several technical<br />

programs. Space throughout the campus remains at a premium which could limit program delivery<br />

in the future.<br />

B. Associate in Arts<br />

The <strong>Ybor</strong> <strong>City</strong> Campus of <strong>Hillsborough</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> aims to provide a high-quality learning<br />

environment in a culturally and artistically rich atmosphere that reflects the ambiance of Tampa’s<br />

Historic Landmark District.<br />

The principal commitment of <strong>Hillsborough</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s <strong>Ybor</strong> <strong>City</strong> Campus is the provision<br />

of access to high quality college preparatory, college parallel, technical and pre-professional<br />

programs in an atmosphere that supports achievement, values diversity, and is committed to<br />

equity and fairness. The Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree program is designed primarily to meet the<br />

requirements for a student to transfer to the upper division level of a college or university to<br />

continue to work toward a bachelor’s degree.<br />

The Associate in Arts Program also includes a variety of degree programs though the focus on the<br />

Arts is apparent. The AA Degrees offered at the <strong>Ybor</strong> <strong>City</strong> Campus, are as follows:<br />

- Art<br />
