FSCJ has been recognized as a top college in Florida for students interested in military service

FSCJ ranks among the very best schools for future service members in the state of Florida, with an affordable $1,995 annual tuition rate, and Army and Navy ROTC programs.

With the cost of college a concern for many families, it's important for students to find an affordable post-secondary option with demonstration academic excellence. However, it's equally important that students interested in service have the opportunity to explore military programs while working toward a degree.

The College Database - the most current and comprehensive source for U.S. college and university data - has named its top colleges for future service members in Florida. The website set out to find the post-secondary institutions in Florida that were both affordable - annual tuition less than $20,000 - and offered at least two ROTC programs - Army, Navy, or Air Force.

"Everyone talks about service members using their GI Bill to go back to school, but rarely do people discuss current students using college to join the service," said Wes Ricketts, Vice President and General Manager of The College Database. "Colleges with ROTC programs give students a great opportunity, not only to explore military service, but to gain valuable leadership skills coveted by employers."

The College Database used the following methodology to identify the top Florida colleges for service members:

• At least two ROTC programs (Army, Navy, and/or Air Force)
• In-state tuition less than $20,000 per year
• 4-year, degree-granting institutions
• Private, for-profit colleges excluded
