For 50 years, the best and brightest minds have gathered at UWF, connecting coursework to careers in business and education; training professionals for an ever-changing health care landscape; preparing future scientists with hands-on experiences in the lab and preserving history through a world-class archaeology program. What started out as a ripple in 1967 has grown into a wave - of innovation, collaboration, creativity. Or, as it’s known at UWF - Sea Change.

Based in Pensacola with additional locations in the region, UWF is home to five academic colleges, offering a variety of bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, as well as specialist degrees and a doctorate in education. With a student population of nearly 13,000, UWF is committed to a close-knit academic experience and is consistently named a top “military friendly” University. In 2016, UWF added football to its roster of NCAA Division II sports.

A driver of economic impact in Northwest Florida and beyond, UWF generates approximately $1.47 billion in total annual sales across the Florida economy.

At UWF, we see change coming, faster than ever, and we’re ready for it - because we’re leading it.
