About Pensacola State
Pensacola State College, founded as
Pensacola Junior College in 1948, is one
of the oldest community colleges in Florida.
The college is located in Northwest Florida.
There are three campuses (Pensacola, Milton and Warrington) located in Escambia
and Santa Rosa counties and a Pensacola
Downtown Center.
The college is a popular place for high
school graduates to start college; 1/3 of
the area’s graduates attend PSC within the
year. PSC also has a large community of
returning students who attend evening and
weekend classes, as well as certificate programs, adult high school and continuing
education classes. Seventy percent of PSC
students work full- or part-time.
