Florida Southern College (commonly referred to as Florida Southern or FSC) is a private college located in Lakeland, Florida. It was selected by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top ten Southern Comprehensive Colleges-Bachelors, and by The Princeton Review as a Best Southeastern College, a Best Value College, and included in the Best 366 Colleges: 2008, Florida Southern is the home of the world’s largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture.

The college was founded in Orlando in 1856, and moved to Leesburg in 1885 (some debate this to be the true establishment) under the sponsorship of the United Methodist Church and was open to both male and female students. It moved to Sutherland (now Palm Harbor) in 1901 and changed its name to Southern College. Due to fires in the early 1920s it was temporarily relocated to Clearwater Beach and then moved to Lakeland in 1922. In 1935 it was renamed Florida Southern College by the trustees.

Florida Southern College Catalog – both print and web versions – the College has attempted to provide information which, at the time of publication, most accurately described policies, procedures, regulations, and requirements of the College. However, the information in the catalog is presented as a guide and is not the offer of a contract. Florida Southern College reserves the right to change, without notice, any fee, provision, policy, procedure, offering, or requirement in the Catalog and to determine whether a student has satisfactorily met Florida Southern College’s requirements for admission or the award of a degree. Every effort is made for the version on the College’s website to contain the most current information.
