About This School

State Fair Community College is a public community college in Sedalia, Missouri, adjacent to the Missouri State Fairgrounds. In addition to the Sedalia campus, there are extended campus locations in Boonville, Lake of the Ozarks, Clinton, Warsaw, and Whiteman AFB. The college enrolled 4,284 students in 2019.

Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable way to start or finish a degree — at just $7,485/year net price and a median debt of only $6,500, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $33,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year program or a specific local career path rather than a standalone credential for higher-paying fields. The multiple campus locations across central Missouri are a real plus if convenience and flexibility matter to your situation.
