Where is Daytona College located?

Daytona College is located in Ormond Beach, FL, in the United States.

What type of institution is Daytona College?

Daytona College is a private community college based in FL. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.

Is Daytona College open admission?

Yes. Daytona College reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.

How many students attend Daytona College?

Daytona College reports total enrollment of approximately 191 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.

How much does Daytona College actually cost after financial aid?

The average net price at Daytona College is approximately $28,706 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.

What is the graduation rate at Daytona College?

Daytona College reports a graduation rate of approximately 86% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.

How much student debt do graduates of Daytona College have?

Students who borrowed at Daytona College left with a median of approximately $7,403 in federal loans, and about 70% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.

How much do graduates of Daytona College earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $26,422 for students who received federal financial aid at Daytona College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.

How should I verify final details about Daytona College?

CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Daytona College.

How much do Cosmetology graduates from Daytona College earn?

Daytona College's certificate graduates in Cosmetology earned a median $22,601 four years after graduating, 14% below the $26,307 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $20,872; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $7,253 in federal loans at this college (about $77 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $7,798 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).

How much do Medical Assisting and Allied Health graduates from Daytona College earn?

Daytona College's certificate graduates in Medical Assisting and Allied Health earned a median $31,406 four years after graduating, 8% below the $34,272 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $24,094; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $6,831 in federal loans at this college (about $72 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $10,633 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).

Which programs at Daytona College have the highest graduate earnings?

Among the 3 programs at Daytona College with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Health and Medical Administration, certificate ($39,844); Medical Assisting and Allied Health, certificate ($31,406); and Cosmetology, certificate ($22,601) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.

Does Daytona College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?

No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Daytona College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $33,695, above the $33,352 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Florida, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program. It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.
