Palm Beach State College — Belle Glade Campus

Belle Glade Campus is at the western edge of the county, in the agricultural Glades region near communities that historically had to travel far for higher education. Its permanent College Drive site opened in the late 1970s, and PBSC describes it as a resource for the Glades. It is a different scale from Lake Worth: its value is bringing programs and student services closer to western Palm Beach County.

The college lists general education, nursing, and career-training pathways, and the site hosts testing and certifications such as the Criminal Justice Basic Abilities Test and firefighter selection exams. Program availability changes by term; use the course search and ask Admissions whether you can complete the plan locally or will need classes, labs, or clinical placements at another site.

For cost comparisons, the published standard rate for advanced/professional and associate-level credit programs is $101 per credit for Florida residents and $363 for nonresidents, before lab, course, delivery, or registration charges. Twelve credits in that category total $1,212 or $4,356. No review score is recorded because we could not confirm an exact whole-campus listing; this profile focuses on verified academic information.
