<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 />

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 />
