Florida Keys Community College issued the following announcement on Aug. 3.
The College of the Florida Keys (CFK) invites the public and prospective students to Open House events at its new Upper Keys Center at 106040 Overseas Highway in Key Largo on Wednesday, August 11 and Thursday, August 12 from 4 to 7 p.m. Visitors will be able to tour the new 38,000-square foot center and learn about the expanded academic and workforce training opportunities now available. CFK staff will be on-hand to help incoming students complete the application, register for classes, and find answers to any questions they may have.
In celebration of the grand opening of the new center, the College is offering a “Take 2, Get 1” enrollment special. Students who register for and complete two or more classes, or at least six credits, this Fall semester will receive one free class, up to three credits, in Spring 2022. At least one class must be at the Upper Keys Center for each semester.
At the new center, the College offers bachelor’s and associate degrees as well as workforce training. Programs that are available in the Fall include nursing, paramedic, business administration, supervision and management, construction technologies, hospitality, public safety, general studies, and Project ACCESS, which provides opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities. Marine science programs will be added in Spring 2022. The Upper Keys Center also houses a testing center, which provides access to thousands of professional testing and certification exams.
Fall classes start August 19. CFK’s Upper Keys Center will be open to the public, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., beginning on August 9.
Construction of the new Upper Keys Center was made possible through a $16 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) as well as through privately raised funds from local sources.
