UWF History
• In 1955, the Florida Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to locate a state university in Escambia County.
• Ground was broken on April 16, 1965. • In 1997, 600 additional acres were acquired which
brought the Pensacola campus to 1,600 acres, the second largest main campus in the State University System.

• Initially, the university was organized in three resident or cluster colleges: Alpha, Gamma, and Omega and was an upper-level institution enrolling juniors, seniors and graduate students.
• The first students began classes in the fall of 1967, and the first commencement exercises were held in June 1968 where 58 students received degrees.
• In 1969, the university undergraduate programs were accredited by Southern Association of College (SACS) and the first master's degree programs began.
