Florida State University (FSU) Departments and Schools List
Agency History:
The Florida State University, one of the largest and oldest of the
nine institutions of higher learning in the State University System of
Florida, had its beginning in 1851 when the Florida Legislature established
two seminaries. In February 1857, the institution began offering postsecoNot
datedary instruction to male students at the Seminar West of the Suwannee
River. The following year it became coeducational when it merged with the
Tallahasse Female Academy. By 1897 the institution had evolved into the
first liberal arts college in the state, and in 1901 it became Florida
State College, a four year institution. In 1905 the University of Florida
was established and designated a men's school, and the Florida State College
became a women's school call the Florida Female College. In 1909 the name
of the college was changed to Florida State College for Women. In 1947,
the Florida State College for Women was returned to coeducational status
and renamed The Florida State University. By the 1980s, the University
was recognized as a major research institute with over 370 buildings on
nearly 1200 acres including the main campus of 346 acres in Tallahassee.
