Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate by reference the updated Gold Standard Career Pathways Statewide Articulation Agreements.  Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements are based on industry certifications and guarantee individuals who have earned the industry certification specified in the agreement and enrolled in the specified associate degree program at a Florida College System (FCS) institution will be awarded college credit as indicated in the agreement.

SUMMARY:

Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements are developed periodically through a consensus process with the FCS institutions and are based on industry certifications on the Department of Education’s “Industry Certification Funding List.”  Six new articulation agreements have recently been developed and approved by the FCS institutions and the Articulation Coordinating Committee. Approved by the State Board of Education, the Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements continue to provide guaranteed college credit for students who have earned the industry certification specified in the agreement and enrolled in the specified associate degree program.  This is a saving of tuition costs for the students and eliminates the need to repeat coursework mastered as evidenced by passage of a third party examination leading to the award of an industry certification.
