The University of North Florida (UNF) is a public university located in Jacksonville, Florida, and a member institution of the State University System of Florida. UNF was established in 1969, and classes began in 1972. It currently has an enrollment of more than 16,000 students and employs over 500 full-time faculty. The campus is located on a natural preserve in the largest city in terms of land area in the continental United States. The university comprises 5 separate colleges with noted business, coastal biology, nursing, and jazz programs. The current president is former Jacksonville mayor John Delaney.
In March 2006, The Princeton Review ranked UNF number five in their list of "America's Best Value Colleges," and also named UNF as a "Best Southeastern College". UNF's status as a "Best Value College" was recently reaffirmed in the 2009 edition of the Princeton Review.
The University of North Florida NCAA Division I athletic teams, known as the North Florida Ospreys compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference.
The university was founded in 1969 after one thousand acres (4 km²) midway between downtown Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Beaches were set aside for the campus, 500 acres (2.0 km2) of which were donated by Jacksonville's Skinner family. Until this time, the only publicly funded institution of higher learning was Florida Community College at Jacksonville. J. J. Daniel, Chairman of the Florida Board of Regents, was instrumental in getting the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Construction on classrooms and buildings began in 1971 and UNF opened in the Fall of 1972 with an initial enrollment of 2,027 Juniors, supported by 117 faculty and more than 150 staff. Originally, like the other Florida state institutions opened around this time, UNF was designated as a "senior" college, meaning that it would enroll only upper classmen and graduate students.
UNF graduated a total of thirty-five students in 1973. The school was quick to expand, and was given accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1974. The school's mascot is the osprey and was officially adopted in November 1979 over other popular choices such as the armadillo, the manatee and the seagull. The male and female versions of the mascot are known as Ozzie and Harriet.
In 1980, there was a legislative effort to merge UNF with the University of Florida and no longer be a self-sustained institution, but a bill proposing this was vetoed by Governor Bob Graham. Freshmen and sophomores were admitted for the first time in 1984. Enrollment at UNF exceeded 10,000 in 1995, and in Spring of 2000 it broke its commencement record, graduating over 1,000 students.
The 2000s saw a significant development on campus as many new buildings including the Social Science building, Science and Engineering building, College of Education and Human Services building, Fine Arts Center, Student Union, and Osprey Fountains residence hall were built. In 2002, a 13-member Board of Trustees began work to oversee UNF.
UNF was officially reclassified as an NCAA Division I school for its athletics programs in 2009.
