The heirarchy of degrees, if you will, goes soemthing like this: GED, high school diploma, certificate, associates, bachelors, masters, doctorate. There's nothing wrong with a certificate except that it is lower on the scale and often offered by non-accredited schools. That's why the credits may not transfer to a US college and you may end up repeating coursework. I started at a community college when I graduated high school because I had to pay my own way through school. Then I choose to transfer to Uof FL because of in-state residency, lower tuition, and they were the only university in FL to offer the major I wanted. When I look at universities, I look for the classes/program I want first, then cost or whatever else my limitation is. The only school in FL that I know if that offers a major in Zoology in U of FL. Most colleges offer classes in Zoology...there's a difference. Almost all will offer a degree in bioology in various forms as well. Usually the 4yr degree is basic such as a form of biology and the master's begins a specialization. IE, you may work toward a 4yr degree in Zoology and get a master's in herpetology.

Some things to consider: FL universities are difficult to get into as a freshman. You really need to pump up honors and AP courses as well as SAT scores. I have a 10th grader and 11th grader right now, so I'm reliving it all over again, lol. As a result, community colleges are getting better and better. Going through a cc is a great option this is less expensive and easier to work with. If you are a FL resident, college of any kind is cheaper in state than paying out of state tuition in TN or PA or wherever.
