About Florida College

Higher Education. Biblical Foundation.

Florida College is the second-oldest higher education institution in Tampa. It was founded in 1946 as a place where young men and women could pursue a solid college education within the framework of a Biblical worldview, in an environment that promotes the health of students holistically—physically, socially, mentally, and spiritually.

Today FC remains committed to that same vision, and continues to expand its academic offerings while holding fast to the timeless principles of the Bible.
