About Valencia College
Located in Orlando, Florida, Valencia College is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and, in 2011, was named the best community college in the nation by the Aspen Institute. As a community college, Valencia primarily offers two-year associate degrees, which transfer to university bachelor’s programs. Compared to a Florida public university, the level of education at Valencia College is just the same, but the tuition is 40% less, the class sizes are typically smaller and there are more support resources.
With more than 100 countries represented on our campuses, Valencia College welcomes students from all over the world. Our dedicated International Student Services team can assist you with everything from admissions and immigration to academic advising and university transfer.
