Know No Limits

St. Petersburg College

Your money is precious

So why spend more than necessary for a quality education? SPC offers the same freshman- and sophomore-level classes as four-year universities, but at a fraction of the cost. Tuition* alone at a state university can run about $3,360. At a private university, the tuition can jump to about $20,000 — per year! And then there's room and board to consider. Compare that with SPC's annual tuition of about $2090.70 — and you don't even have to change your address. Check out our Scholarships and Student Financial Assistance page for great online tools and resources.

*All figures are based on 30 credit hours per year.

Your time is important

You often don't have enough of it if you're busy with school, work, family, friends and other activities. And you certainly don't need a long commute to class. Fortunately, SPC has 10 convenient learning sites.

Your name is significant

And it's nice that other people know it. SPC classes are relatively small, averaging about 27 students. In contrast, the same classes at many universities have hundreds of students. At SPC you'll be known by your name, not just your student number.

Students seeking careers in these fields may now continue their studies without changing colleges, jobs or living arrangements.
  
  To make continuing your education even more attractive, the University Partnership Center offers junior- and senior-level classes toward bachelor's degrees from many universities and colleges that work in partnership with SPC.
