USF Polytechnic provides a 2+2 bachelor's program. It allows students to complete the first two years (approximately 60 semester credit hours) at their local community college or another college or university and the last two years (approximately 60 semester credit hours) with USF Polytechnic to obtain a bachelor's degree. Freshmen and lower level transfer students are welcome to apply for admission to USF Tampa or USF St. Pete.
The admissions process is a centralized service for the University of South Florida system with all applications processed at USF Tampa.
To gain admissions into USF Polytechnic, students must:
