About This School
First Coast Technical College is a public institution located in Saint Augustine, Florida with approximately 727 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,577 per year. The graduation rate is 77%, and the typical graduate earns $25,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at roughly $9,500/year after aid, the cost is manageable, but median earnings of just $25,200 a decade after enrollment raise a real question about long-term financial return. With only 369 students, this is a small, focused technical school — which works well if you want hands-on training in a specific trade and a tight-knit environment, but it's not the place if you're looking for broad academic programs or transfer pathways. Worth considering if you have a clear career target in a skilled trade and want to keep costs low, but run the numbers on your specific program before committing.
