About This School

Pensacola State College is a public institution located in Pensacola, Florida with approximately 6,725 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $2,254 per year. The graduation rate is 42%, and the typical graduate earns $32,100 within 10 years of enrollment.

Pensacola State College (PSC) is a public college in Pensacola, Florida. It is part of the Florida College System. Originally established as Pensacola Junior College in 1948, the college underwent a name change in July 2010 to reflect its expanded academic offerings to include both associate and bachelor degrees.

The numbers tell a genuinely compelling story on cost — at just $2,254/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a degree in Florida. That said, the 42% graduation rate is worth taking seriously, meaning less than half of students who start here finish, so it's worth asking what support systems are in place to keep you on track. Worth considering if you're budget-conscious and focused on an associate degree or a practical bachelor's program, but come in with a clear plan and use every advising resource available.
