When the college held its first classes 55 years ago, it was the only choice for higher education in our community. Today, students have many options when it comes to higher education. I believe when you add the College of Central Florida’s level of quality with its affordability, award-winning faculty and staff, and nurturing and caring environment, CF continues to be the FIRST choice.

See for yourself. These highlights from 2013-2014 speak volumes to why CF is the first choice for quality higher education in our community.
