REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI am currently a part time student and taking my basics. My teachers understand the busy lives of everyone and are willing to work with you as long as your willing to learn. I am learning events that happened in history that I already learned, but it is in more detail and I am learning more about them then I expected. State College of Florida is definitely a place to start where you can learn quite a bit, for a cheaper price than a university.
Daleeza from Bradenton, FL
College is college. Not everyone's dream is to go to the local college, but you will still get the degree you can get anywhere else here. Plus SCF makes it super simple to transfer.
