Florida College launched the 2025–26 academic year with the largest enrollment in school history, welcoming 621 Falcons to campus this fall. The strong incoming class includes 238 freshmen and transfer students, joining peers from across the United States and around the world.

“It is an exciting time to be at Florida College,” said Josh Jones, Director of Admissions. “The strong incoming class is indicative of the fact that young people are eager for a well-rounded, faith-based learning environment. From filling out their applications to the moment they walked into chapel for the first time with the rest of the student body, their excitement for what Florida College is offering has been so apparent. The quality of professors, experiential learning opportunities, and Christ-centered curriculum in both our longstanding programs and new programs continues to attract students to Florida College. They are excited to be part of the Florida College legacy. They see this as a place where they can pursue their academic and professional careers while being encouraged to follow Christ daily. It is refreshing to finally have them on campus and see them pursuing their goals.”
