Finding City College-Altamonte Springs charges 12% above the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $18,612. That is 12% above the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the Florida median ($16,838), sticker tuition is 11% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is 56% above.

What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at City College-Altamonte Springs is $32,845.
