Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) is a public college based in Cocoa, Florida. It is a member of the Florida College System and has additional campuses in Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Titusville, as well as a virtual campus.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,939 per year after aid and only $8,279 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths to a degree in Florida, making it a genuinely smart choice for cost-conscious students. The 51% graduation rate is a real concern, though — roughly half of students don't finish, so you'll want to honestly assess your own support system and commitment before enrolling. If you're looking for a low-risk, low-cost way to complete general education credits or earn an associate degree before transferring to a four-year school, this can work well, but the $34,000 median earnings at 10 years suggest limited upside if you stop at a two-year credential.
