NEW COLLEGE FOUNDATION
FEARLESS LEARNING. FORWARD THINKING. Founded in Sarasota in 1960, New College of Florida is the state’s legislatively designated Honors College of Florida and the nation’s #2 public liberal arts college. With more than 90 percent of students receiving some form of financial aid and nearly every admitted student being offered a scholarship, New College is one of the most affordable small colleges in the country. New College prepares intellectually curious students for lives of great achievement by providing each student with a highly individualized education that integrates academic rigor with career-building experiences and culminates with a senior capstone project. Students choose from 45 undergraduate majors in arts, humanities, social sciences, and STEM fields; a master’s degree program in data science; and certificates in technology, finance, and business skills. A higher percentage of New College graduates go on to earn PhDs than graduates of any other public university in the country. The beautiful, 110-acre campus on Sarasota Bay houses three century-old mansions once owned by the Ringling family and the Caples family. The college’s iconic Pei Residences and Hamilton Student Center were designed by the legendary architect I.M. Pei. The Pritzker Marine Biology Research Center is the only marine biology research center in the country located on a liberal arts college campus.
