History
The Florida Legislature authorized Daytona Beach Junior College as one of FloridaШаблон:'s first comprehensive colleges in 1957. Its three divisions – college credit, adult education, and the Mary Karl Vocational School – functioned as separate entities under Volusia County Schools, although they all were administered by the collegeШаблон:'s president. Volusia County Community College was founded simultaneously as a school for African Americans; at its inception Daytona Beach was all-white (at the time there were no integrated colleges in the state). Following the Civil Rights Act of 1964, VCCC was closed in 1965,[1][2][3][4] and its students were given the option of enrolling at Daytona Beach. Those who did found an unhospitable atmosphere, and while 450 students transferred in 1965-66, black enrollment in 1966-67 was under 100.[5]
In 1968, the Florida Legislature combined Daytona Beach Junior CollegeШаблон:'s divisions into a single administrative unit under a District Board of Trustees independent of Volusia County Schools. In 1971, the college was renamed Daytona Beach Community College.[1] Besides the main campus in Daytona Beach, the college offers several regional campuses, located in DeLand, Deltona, New Smyrna Beach/Edgewater, and Flagler/Palm Coast, as well as the Advanced Technology College and News-Journal Center in Daytona Beach.
Daytona Beach Community College became a four-year college in 2006, when it offered its first bachelor's degree, the Bachelor of Applied Science in Supervision and Management. In 2008, the college was renamed as Daytona Beach College, then a month later renamed as Daytona State College, reflecting its transition to a four-year institution offering workforce baccalaureate degrees. The college began offering Bachelor of Science in Education degrees in spring 2009, Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degrees in fall 2010, bachelorШаблон:'s degrees in Nursing and Information Technology in January 2014, and the Bachelor of Science in Accounting in fall 2020.[1]
Campuses
Main campus

In the 2022-2023 school year, the college opened its first student housing facility.
Regional campuses
In addition to the Daytona Beach campus, Daytona State College has several other campuses to service Volusia and Flagler counties. In Daytona Beach, there are two other campuses: the Advanced Technology Center, where several vocational programs are offered, and the News-Journal Center, which houses the college's performing arts venues and the Mike Curb College of Music, Entertainment, & Art.
