An integrative experience of community and college

SPC SPC Tarpon Springs Junior College Welcoming Accessible Affordable Inclusive

Although offering multiple degree programs, Saint Petersburg College’s Tarpon Springs Campus represents a true community college in the sense that it reflects the local community’s Greek heritage—from its architectural stylings to the Greek letters adorning its buildings. SPC Tarpon Springs also features an amphitheater in a natural setting for cultural events, in true Greek fashion.

One of nine sites that constitute Saint Petersburg College, SPC Tarpon Springs opened in 1975 and prepares students for professional careers and further education through its various bachelor’s, associate’s, and professional certificate programs. The M.M. Bennett Library complex, Fine Arts Education Center, and Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art all call the SPC Tarpon Springs Campus home.

During your search for apartments near SPC Tarpon Springs, consider accessibility to either U.S. 19, Belcher Road, or Klosterman Road for the simplest commute to campus. Outside of class, you’ll enjoy convenience to nearby beaches, restaurants, and shops.
