Cybersecurity Team Dominates First Statewide Competition
Breaking the record in 1 hour, 15 minutes, Daytona State’s FalconSec student cybersecurity team took first place in a statewide competition, beating 18 teams from 13 other Florida state colleges competing to solve a phishing attack and a malware analysis.
FalconSec was the only team in the inaugural Cyber Security Web-Based Team Competition, sponsored by the Florida College System, to complete the challenges within the allotted three hours with a perfect score.

We Need Your Support!
We know that students who live on campus are more engaged with their instructors, utilize academic support systems more frequently, and participate more in on-campus activities. With that in mind, we’re launching a $12 million capital campaign to build a second student residence hall on the Daytona Beach Campus.
Donations from the community will ensure our residence hall will be an affordable and accessible option for students.
By the Numbers
11th straight year! DSC is the highest ranked public state college in Florida according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2023 rankings for Best Online Bachelor’s Degree Programs. DSC also retains top rankings for Best Online Bachelor’s Program for Veterans and Best Online Bachelors Business Program.
Our students have expanded opportunities to learn outside the classroom with more than 50 student clubs and organizations to choose from.
We're half the tuition of state universities - our associate of arts degree is your gateway to a bachelor’s degree at DSC or a 4-year university.
