Indian River State College is a public college based in Fort Pierce, Florida, United States. Serving the Treasure Coast region, it is part of the Florida College System and offers associate and bachelor's degree programs as well as vocational certificates. It was established in 1959.
Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable way to start your college journey — at just $5,202/year average net price and a median debt of only $5,500, this is one of the most financially accessible options around. That said, the 42% graduation rate is a real concern and suggests many students don't finish, so you'll want to think honestly about what support systems you'll need to stay on track. Median earnings of $33,800 a decade out are modest, making this a better fit for students pursuing specific vocational certificates or planning to transfer than those expecting a big salary boost from a bachelor's degree here.
