Tallahassee State College (TSC) is a public college in Tallahassee, Florida, United States. It is part of the Florida College System and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has accredited the school. Peak enrollment was fall 2014 when TSC reported 38,017 students. From 1970 to 2024, the institution was known as Tallahassee Community College.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $8,478/year after aid and only $5,350 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential or transfer in the region — a genuinely strong option for cost-conscious students, especially those planning to transfer to a four-year school. The concern worth taking seriously is the 37% graduation rate, which suggests many students don't finish, so you'll want to go in with a clear plan and take advantage of advising resources. Median earnings of $35,100 a decade out are modest, making TCC most defensible as a stepping stone rather than a terminal degree.
