Description
The University of Florida (UF) is a major, public, comprehensive, research
university. It is the state's oldest and largest university, and is among the
nation's most academically diverse public universities. Florida has a long
history of established programs in international education, research and
service. UF traces its roots to 1853, when the state-funded East Florida
Seminary took over the Kingsbury Academy in Ocala, which was later
combined with the Florida Agricultural College, then in Lake City. In 1905 the
college became a university and was moved to Gainesville.
With more than 46,000 students, Florida is now one of the five largest
universities in the nation. Florida has a 2,000-acre campus and more than 900
buildings (including 170 with classrooms and laboratories).
The northeast corner of campus is listed as a Historic District on the National
Register of Historic Places. UF's extensive capital improvement program has
resulted in facilities ideal for 21st century research including the McKnight
Brain Institute, the new Health Professions, Nursing and Pharmacy Building,
the Genetics and Cancer Research Center now being built, and the Protonbeam Therapy Center that will be located in Jacksonville.
