    May 2009 DR. ERIC J. SMITH, COMMISSIONER ● DR. WILLIS N. HOLCOMBE, CHANCELLOR EDITION 2009- 02 Florida Colleges Again Top Producers of Associates Degrees in the Nation Each year, Community College Weekly releases an annual report of the Top 100 Associate Degree Producers in the nation. Data collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data Set (IPEDS) are examined to provide a “tangible and countable outcome that lends itself to analysis and ranking.”1 Year after year, schools in The Florida College System consistently earn recognition as top producers for the total number of Associates degrees granted and the total number of Associates degrees conferred to African American and Hispanic students.2 Associates degrees are defined as Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Applied Science. For 2008, 49,354 Associates degrees were awarded in The Florida College System.3 The institutions and their ranks for 2005 through 2008 are presented in Tables 1-3 below. Table 1 shows the Florida institutions that were ranked among the Top 100 Producers for the total number of Associates degrees granted along with each school’s rank. For each of the past four years, at least half of all the schools in The Florida College System were listed in the top 100. In addition, over half of the schools listed below ranked among the top 25 producers of Associate degrees. It is notable for three years (2005, 2006, 2007), Miami Dade College, Valencia Community College, and Broward College have been among the top 5 degree producers and Miami Dade has consistently ranked first.
