YOUR FUTURE IS COMING TOGETHER AND IT LOOKS GREEN AND GOLD
Specially selected students can be a Bull from the get-go, thanks to FUSE – a partnership between St. Petersburg College and USF. Start by earning your associate degree from SPC while getting many of the perks of being at USF's St. Petersburg or Tampa campus, from access to campus events to specialized advising. When it’s time for your bachelor degree, FUSE guarantees you’ll be admitted to USF.
The FUSE Program is designed to promote your timely Bachelor’s degree completion once you have earned an Associate of Arts degree from a participating regional Florida College System institution.
Students offered a place in the program will be guaranteed admission to USF's St. Petersburg or Tampa campus provided that they earn their Associate of Arts degree within 3-4 years, three years preferred, with a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
