About This School

Chipola College is a public institution located in Marianna, Florida with approximately 1,218 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $832 per year. The graduation rate is 61%, and the typical graduate earns $33,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

Chipola College is a public college in Marianna, Florida, United States. It is part of the Florida College System.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $832/year net price, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere, making it genuinely hard to beat for budget-conscious students in the Florida Panhandle. However, the 61% graduation rate suggests a meaningful number of students don't finish, so it's worth asking yourself honestly what support systems you'll need to stay on track. Median earnings of $33,600 a decade out are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone — an associate degree pathway into a four-year program — rather than a terminal credential for high-earning career goals.
