The program requirements to enter specific majors within the State University System and the Florida College System are quite varied. Students are encouraged to decide on an upper-division major when they enroll at Polk State College (PSC) and follow the state-prescribed advising track for that major.

 The following is a list of A.A. advising tracks for which specific plans have been developed by Polk State College (PSC) on the basis of information provided by Florida State University System. All PSC advising tracks lead to an Associate in Arts degree in Liberal Arts. Students should meet with an advisor to assist them in selecting both general education core courses and recommended electives for their selected advising track to prepare for the chosen upper-division major.
