We're a dynamic public research university that's been serving students along Florida's southeast coast since we first opened our doors in 1964. Today, we serve more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students across six campuses, and we've grown into something pretty special - a top-ranked university that actually cares about helping people succeed.
What drives us is seeing our students achieve things they never thought possible. We offer more than 170 degree programs, from business and engineering to nursing and the arts, taught by faculty who genuinely love teaching and mentoring. Our 24:1 student-to-faculty ratio means our students get real attention, not lost in the crowd. We're proud to be recognized as the most diverse public university in Florida, and we've worked hard to eliminate achievement gaps so that students from all backgrounds excel here. Beyond the classroom, our students participate in over 6,000 undergraduate research experiences annually and complete 10,000+ internships, gaining hands-on experience that matters in the real world.
