Florida Southern College

Warm weather? Check. Beautiful campus? Check. Strong majors in nursing, education, the sciences? Check, check, check.  Florida Southern College, located in Lakeland, Florida, a city of 98,000 and 38 lakes, might be an excellent option for you if you're looking for all those things are more.  Designed by the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the campus sits on Lake Hollingsworth and offers spectacular views from some of the freshmen dorms and the fitness center.

Academically you will find plenty of hands-on, experiential learning opportunities, and they're looking for students who want to be active participants both in and out of the classroom. 

The low esplanades keep out the
rain and the hot Florida sun.

Last year's average GPA for accepted students was a 3.4 and test scores ranged from 1010-1160 or 21-26 (middle 50%).  In addition to the majors mentioned above, new majors include marine science and musical theater.  Interested students are guaranteed a travel study experience (at home or abroad) at no aditional cost, an internship at some point during their college career, and an on-time graduation in four years.

Florida Southern College is an impressive place and worth a second look!
