Florida Community College at Jacksonville is extending the application deadline for Fall Term 2008 admission to each of its four bachelor's degree programs to July 11. This gives program applicants a two-week extension from the original deadline to initiate the process by submitting the Florida Community College bachelor's degree program application (available at any campus Enrollment Services Office or at http://www.fccj.edu/bachelors) no later than July 11. Classes for the new bachelor's degree programs begin Aug. 25.

The College's four bachelor's programs-Nursing, Supervision and Management, Networking and Telecommunications, and Fire Science Management-each have other specific requirements for admission. Bachelor's degree applicants will receive advising and information regarding other documentation required and submission deadlines for their desired program.

To be selected for any FCCJ bachelor's degree program, applicants must first have at least an associate degree. Prospective students whose ultimate goal is to earn a bachelor's degree may enter an associate degree program and begin coursework immediately.

All bachelors' programs have selective admission with a limited number of spaces. To be considered for admission, applicants must meet or exceed the admissions requirements as established by each program. For more information visit www.fccj.edu or call 904-680-FCCJ (3225).
