Florida State College for Women existed for only forty-two years, from 1905 to 1947, but in that short time it became the second-largest state college for women in the United States; nearly 10,000 women graduated from the school. Among state-supported women's colleges, it was the first to be admitted to the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the first to be placed on the approved list of colleges and universities of the Association of American Universities. Florida State College for Women offered the women of Florida a superior liberal arts education for minimal cost. Its solid academic program provided a substantial foundation for the achievements of its successor, Florida State University. / Despite the national prominence of Florida's only state college for women, until now there existed no formal study that encompassed the history of the entire school. Both traditional research methods and oral history techniques have been incorporated in this documentation. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 56-04, Section: A, page: 1500. / Major Professor: Edward F.
