Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) is a public college in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. It is a member institution of the Florida College System, and offers a range of associate and baccalaureate degree programs. FSCJ is also known for its dual enrollment and early college programs.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $2,760/year after aid and only $8,750 in median debt, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere in Florida, making it a smart starting point for students watching their budget or planning to transfer to a four-year university. However, the 32% graduation rate is a real concern — most students who enroll don't finish — so you'll need to be honest with yourself about your commitment level and ask the college directly what support systems are in place to keep students on track. If you complete a degree, median earnings of $35,800 after 10 years are modest, so this works best as a stepping stone rather than a final destination.
