STUDENTS New College is casual on the surface but, on closer inspection, it's an intense community, a place of hard work and zany play. New College's current enrollment is approximately 750 students, over half of whom are women and 20 percent of whom are from outside Florida. This is a community of talented students from many backgrounds.

DIVERSITY

New College's founders recognized that the day was passing when one gender of one race could monopolize political, economic, and cultural power. They opened New College, which was by charter non-sectarian, to men and women of all races; we are told that when New College began, it was the only racially open college in Florida.

A $1,000,000 gift from the PepsiCo Foundation is enabling New College to increase minority scholarships and strengthen efforts to bring more minority faculty and staff into the campus community.
