I had to look up Eastern Florida State College aka the JUCO formerly known as Brevard Community College.

yeah, I think there was a change in how the state labeled CC's and some turned into State colleges. Some took the opportunity to completely re-brand. 

I'm not real sure of the specifics but the CC in my home town switched to a  state college as well, they just kept the original name and replace the CC with state college.

Pasco Hernando did the same.

Think they have to offer some 4 year degrees to make the change.  But it has been a long time since I read about it.

That sounds about right. Was there a change in funding to entice schools to offer at least one four year program. I can remember ours just randomly looking to add a elementary degree to go along with the change when before they were ok with just the 2 year programs.

Bill Law, the college’s president who is retiring this June, said the move to change the college names came in part from the accreditation process under the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

 

He said as more Florida colleges sought to offer baccalaureate degrees, SACS insisted the schools change their names to reflect the fact that they were offering four-year degrees. Law said the name-change rule is still on the books but “is no longer the operative rule” under the SACS process.
