About This School

Seminole State College of Florida is a public institution located in Sanford, Florida with approximately 11,790 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $3,119 per year. The graduation rate is 42%, and the typical graduate earns $35,100 within 10 years of enrollment.

Seminole State College of Florida is a public college based in Sanford, Florida, United States. It is part of the Florida College System. Established in 1965, the college offers associate and bachelor's degrees, along with various certificate programs, available both on campus and online.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,119/year after aid and a low debt load of $7,704 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a degree in Florida, making it a smart starting point for students watching costs. However, the 42% graduation rate is a real concern — fewer than half of students who enroll finish, so you'll want to have a clear plan and strong support system in place. Median earnings of $35,100 a decade out are modest, so this works best as a launchpad into a four-year transfer program or a specific vocational credential rather than a standalone career credential.
