For the Consortium of the Colleges on the Creative Coast (C4), the start of the New Year is the time to expand on its 2016 accomplishments and increase its ability to collaborate and create more opportunities for our region’s students.
Formed three years ago and comprised of New College of Florida; Ringling College of Art and Design; State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota; the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee; FSU/The Ringling and Eckerd College, the C4 is a higher education collaborative that broadens educational experiences through unique but complementary programs, services and philosophies. This shared community cultivates the pursuit of knowledge and establishes our region as a destination for academic excellence.
