Valencia College

2430 Welbilt Boulevard, Trinity, FL

Valencia College, formerly "Valencia Community College" is a top-ranking two-year college for the number of Associate's degrees earned.  Students attending Valencia will receive the same quality of education as they would at a state university at a lower cost and with smaller classes.  In addition to offering daytime classes, Valencia also offers night and weekend classes at four campuses or online.  The "Flex Start" program allows students to begin their course of study at any time. 

Students may qualify for a job upon completion of their two-year degree or transfer to a four-year university as a junior.  In fact, students who complete an Associate's Degree at Valencia may join the "Direct Connect to UCF" program for joint academic advising and guaranteed admission to the University of Central Florida (UCF).

History

Valencia College was established more than 40 years ago to serve individuals, businesses and public agencies in the Central Florida area.

Academics

Valencia College follows the semester system, though they are referred to as "terms" (fall, spring and summer terms).  The fall term begins in late August and runs to late December. The spring term runs from early January to early May.  The summer term runs from early May to early August.

Valencia offers several "pre-major" programs and the Associate of Arts degree that guarantees admission to Florida State University.  Additionally, Valencia has 33 Associate of Science degree programs offered as transfer plans to pursue a bachelor's degree or as a direct-to-career plan with a job placement rate of 93 to 95 percent.

In addition to providing a two-year Associate's Degree in many majors, Valencia College helps companies, government agencies and individuals reach their career and corporate goals through its corporate consulting, corporate training and continuing education divisions.

Because Valencia College is a commuter school, it does not offer student housing at any of its campuses or centers.  Students are responsible for finding their own housing around any of Valencia's campuses.  Additionally, Valencia holds housing fairs on campus every year where students will find rental information and roommate listings.  This information is also available through Valencia's Student Development office.

Students who don't live within walking or biking distance of one of Valencia's campuses will need to have a car or use the Lynx bus system that operates in Orange and Osceola counties.
