About This School

Daytona State College is a public institution located in Daytona Beach, Florida with approximately 9,367 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,201 per year. The graduation rate is 41%, and the typical graduate earns $32,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

Daytona State College (DSC) is a public college in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States. It is part of the Florida College System.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $7,201/year net price and only $5,500 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. However, the 41% graduation rate is a real concern — fewer than half of students who start here finish — and median earnings of $32,700 a decade out suggest the degrees earned often lead to modest-paying careers. Worth considering if you're budget-conscious, have a clear plan to stay on track, and are targeting a career field where DSC has strong local ties in the Daytona area.
