Established as an independent honors college in 2001, New College of Florida currently enrolls 750 students. New College began in 1960 as a small liberal arts college, graduating their first class in 1967. By 1972 enrollment had increased to 500, but financial difficulties threatened the college so an agreement was made to operate as a distinctive college of the University of South Florida. Now no longer a part of USF, New College became the eleventh university to join the State University System of Florida.
