University Of North Florida

“A budding state university on the fast-track to prestige” is what USA Today has called University of North Florida, located in Jacksonville. A school that regards itself as being “somewhere in the middle,” neither too big nor too small, University of North Florida is a bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degree-granting institution. University of North Florida is divided into four distinct colleges, which include the Brooks College of Health and the colleges of Business, Arts and Sciences; Computing, Engineering and Construction; and the College of Education and Human Services. Part of what makes University of North Florida an impressive destination is its progressive offerings and facilities. Through the Transformational Learning Option, students undertake research, engage in field studies and even travel abroad instead of just staying in the classroom. Numerous academic institutes such as the Florida Center for Public Policy and Leadership and the Intercultural Center for Peace add to the experience of high-quality academic scholarship. Additional branches of study at UNF include distance learning and continuing education options. Student services encompass comprehensive career services, a counseling center, an interfaith center, disability resources and a women’s center.
