Why Regional Campuses

With 10 locations across Central Florida, UCF provides you access to fully accredited, flexible degree programs—without the commute to the main campus in Orlando.

Your local campus offers you the same services and programs as the main campus, as well as smaller class sizes, personalized advising and expert faculty.

Regional Campuses also has unique programs, including our Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.), Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (B.A.B.A.), and Bachelor of Design in Architecture (B. Des.) degree programs.

Design Your Education

At a regional campus, you can build a schedule that fits your lifestyle. Meet with your local advisor to design an educational plan that’s right for you, including the option to attend class in a classroom, online or a mix of both. And through Continuing Education, you can get professional training in your neighborhood—or work on a professional master’s degree through Corporate Education.

Save Your Money

Did you know UCF is ranked one of the best educational values in the country? Not only does UCF offer you one of the lowest tuition rates in the nation, but attending class in your community also saves you money on other costs such as gas, tolls and wear-and-tear on your car. Plus, many students can live at home and save the cost of room and board.

It’s Your Time

Whether you work or have family responsibilities (or both), losing the commute and staying close to home and work frees up your schedule—and makes finishing your bachelor’s degree more convenient than ever. Plus, with convenient online options, you can finish your degree on your schedule.

Our Partners

UCF and your community/state college have a unique partnership—that’s how we make your transition to a bachelor’s degree program efficient and worry-free. Through programs such as DirectConnect to UCF and 2+2, we help you start preparing early for the transition to UCF. Due to these partnerships, students at Brevard Community College, Lake-Sumter Community College, Seminole State College,  and Valencia College have guaranteed access to UCF through DirectConnect to UCF.

College Access

UCF works with schools across Central Florida to increase access to higher education by creating programs that connect faculty, administrators and students from high schools, community and state colleges, and UCF. To learn more, visit collegeaccess.ucf.edu.

Curriculum Alignment

Another way UCF Regional Campuses makes it easier to transition to a bachelor’s degree program is curriculum alignment—we make sure the courses you take at your community/state college will transfer to UCF. Together, UCF and your college work together to make sure you are prepared to complete your upper-division courses at UCF. To learn more about this initiative, visit curriculumalignment.ucf.edu.

Vision

UCF’s Regional Campuses will be recognized as the model for university and community/state college partnerships to increase access to baccalaureate and graduate degrees for Florida citizens, acknowledged for its leadership in providing local access and unsurpassed value for students in communities throughout Central Florida and known for its prominence in preparing students for success in the 21st century economy.

Mission

The Regional Campus system is a partnership-driven organization strategically located to extend UCF’s reach to the communities of Central Florida. We provide access to quality higher education for students who, because of time, distance, preference, or life circumstance, might not otherwise have the opportunity to pursue a baccalaureate or graduate degree.
