Questions
What is the cheapest college in Florida?
Faith Theological Seminary and Christian College in Tampa, at $1,520 per year for in-state students. The next cheapest are Tallahassee Community College ($2,026), Pensacola State College ($2,365), Gulf Coast State College ($2,370).
How much does college cost in Florida?
The median published in-state tuition is $14,115 per year across 140 colleges that reported. Community colleges sit at the low end; private four-year schools at the high end. Remember this is tuition and fees only — housing, food and books are extra.
Public or private — which is cheaper?
Public colleges usually have a much lower sticker price for state residents because taxpayers subsidize them. But private colleges often give larger scholarships, so the net price can end up similar. Always compare after aid, not before.
Do I have to live in Florida to get in-state tuition?
Generally yes, and the rules are stricter than people expect. Most states require 12 months of residency for reasons other than education, plus proof like a driver's license, voter registration and tax filings. Check the specific school's residency policy.
About this data
Every figure comes from IPEDS 2022 — the survey every U.S. college receiving federal student aid must complete. We list published tuition and fees for full-time undergraduates. Schools that did not report tuition appear at the bottom with a dash. Confirm current pricing on each school's website before applying.
