Tallahassee State College began in 1966 as Tallahassee Junior College, with early classes held at Godby High School while its permanent campus was being built. The college became Tallahassee Community College in 1970 and took its current name in July 2024. It now serves Leon, Gadsden and Wakulla counties, with more than 100 academic and workforce programs, associate degrees and four bachelor’s degrees. Its locations include a large main campus, health and public-safety institutes, county learning centers and specialized training sites. The best starting point depends on the program, not simply on which address is nearest.
Choose a route through college
TSC’s Associate in Arts degree is designed for students planning to transfer to a Florida university, while Associate in Science programs focus on career fields such as nursing, cybersecurity, engineering technology, animation, dental hygiene, respiratory care and logistics. Students can also choose workforce certificates, rapid credentials and selected bachelor’s programs in education, business and nursing. Program length varies with the required credit map, prerequisites, clinical hours and part-time or full-time enrollment. Check the current catalog and individual program page for the number of credits and admission sequence before estimating a finish date.
Application, records and selective programs
TSC’s online application is free. Degree-seeking applicants submit an official high-school transcript or GED scores; transfer students also send records from prior colleges. The college uses these records to set up initial advising and course placement. Some workforce, health and public-safety programs have additional entry criteria, background checks, testing or separate application dates. Admission to TSC itself does not secure a seat in a selective program. New students should complete Workday onboarding, meet with an enrollment coach or adviser and check their program’s deadline before registering.
For adults who are still learning English, the ESOL program teaches beginner, intermediate and advanced English, with reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as practical topics such as job applications and communication with a supervisor. Classes are listed at 444 Appleyard Drive in Leon County and at the Gadsden Center in Quincy. New learners take a no-cost CASAS English assessment before placement. The published class charge is $30 per semester; age, residency, literacy and immigration-status rules apply, so contact Adult Education before enrolling. TSC says ESOL can run alongside workforce training, offering a bridge while students prepare for next steps.
What tuition currently looks like
TSC’s posted associate-degree cost table currently shows a combined tuition-and-fee estimate of $100.83 per credit for Florida residents and $387.27 for nonresidents. A 12-credit term at those published rates would be about $1,210 or $4,647 before course-specific lab, distance-learning or other charges. The table separates tuition from student-activity, financial-aid, capital-improvement and technology fees; the current page labels its variable lab-fee schedule 2025–26, while the Board has separately approved course-fee updates for 2026–27. Treat the per-credit figures as a planning reference and confirm the term’s bill with the Cashier before registering. Career certificates use clock-hour pricing rather than the associate-degree rate.
Complete the FAFSA to be considered for federal Pell and other aid, then check Florida grants, tuition waivers and the college’s scholarship application. TSC says its scholarship application can match students with available awards; eligibility varies by award. The college also offers payment options, veterans’ benefit advising and a Resource Center that connects students with food, housing and childcare support. The main financial-aid office can help estimate the net cost after grants and scholarships. Loan eligibility and federal rules changed for the 2026–27 aid year, so use the current TSC and FAFSA instructions rather than an older estimate.
Seven campuses and two specialized centers
The Main Campus on Appleyard Drive is the broadest academic and student-services hub, with the library, Learning Commons, gym and administrative offices. Ghazvini Center next to Tallahassee Memorial concentrates healthcare simulation and clinical learning; the Center for Innovation downtown convenes business, public and nonprofit partners. Gadsden Center in Quincy offers local career programs, testing and ESOL. Wakulla Center in Crawfordville combines workforce training and student support, while Wakulla Environmental Institute focuses on conservation, aquaculture and environmental education. Florida Public Safety Institute near Havana trains law-enforcement, fire and other public-safety personnel. The Advanced Manufacturing Training Center and Transportation and Logistics Center add hands-on industry training, including CDL instruction and testing.
StarMetro’s current Tall Timbers route goes directly to the Main Campus; TSC also provides an accessibility shuttle for eligible students by arrangement. Parking is listed as free in the college’s cost table, but campus signs and program-specific instructions still govern where to leave a vehicle. Regional centers are spread across three counties, so confirm the exact class address and transit before leaving home. Start with the online application, compare tuition and financial aid, and contact Adult ESOL if English preparation is part of your plan.
Check current details and choose according to your budget, time and way of travelling.
