The UNF Advantage
A University of North Florida education offers many advantages, some of which are listed below. We invite students -- current and prospective -- to consider these advantages as they make their decisions about where to pursue their post-secondary educational experiences.
UNF offers a comprehensive, integrated, and carefully designed general education program that provides the broad educational foundation -- as well as the communication, critical thinking, and reflective judgment skills -- needed for 21st century careers and life-long learning.
UNF offers exceptional educational opportunities in the liberal arts and the professions, delivered by faculty who are leaders in their fields, engaged in cutting edge research, and fluent in the art of teaching. The UNF faculty is committed to the success of every student; we see each student as an individual with unique goals and needs. Our faculty work diligently to provide hands-on learning opportunities by bringing students into their research and scholarship in recognition that we learn best by actually doing; this is possible in large measure because of small class sizes and an excellent teacher-to-student ratio.
UNF offers a growing range of graduate programs, each related to students' career interests and each offered by faculty -- all of whom have earned doctorates in their fields -- who work closely with students to provide the personal attention and mentoring needed to create well prepared professionals and innovative leaders for the regional and global marketplace.
College Experience
UNF offers a traditional college experience; complete with a state of the art residential living environment, rich extracurricular activities, and extensive support services, all designed to maximize student success now and after graduation.
UNF offers a wide range of transformational learning opportunities that provide learning experiences beyond the classroom -- study abroad, honors programming, internships, practica, and service learning, to name a few -- that help students become more aware of themselves and their places within the local community, the region, and the world.
