Florida Southern is a magnificent, 100-acre lakeside community in the heart of Florida's citrus belt and within an hour's drive of the state's major recreational attractions, including Disney World. It offers a rich liberal arts curriculum with more than 40 majors, seven pre-professional programs, and the opportunity for combination majors and special concentrations. Nearly one-third of FSC students begin their college careers without a major and enter a curriculum specifically designed to guide them toward a field of study. The campus, itself, is a historic landmark featuring a large collection of buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, America's most famous architect.
