Mission  
School mission: As the State of Florida's legislatively-designated "Honors College for the Arts and Sciences," New College of Florida offers students the benefits of a private college education at a cost below that of many public universities. Annually among the nation's leaders in per-capita production of Fulbright scholars, New College specializes in a unique approach to higher education where students, in close consultation with faculty, craft their own academic programs. While New College's small size and reputation for free-spiritedness appeal to many, its high standards and rigorous academic programs (all students must complete a senior thesis and oral baccalaureate exam before graduating) demand high levels of student involvement and motivation.
