Florida State University was chartered in 1851 and occupies the oldest continuous site of higher education in Florida, in Tallahassee. Its lineage runs from an 1823 federal plan for higher education to the West Florida Seminary and then the Florida State College for Women. It became coeducational and took its present name in 1947. The university is a public research institution, and it hosts the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the state's only national laboratory and one of only nine such facilities worldwide. The Seminoles compete in NCAA Division I FBS and the Atlantic Coast Conference. Enrollment was 44,308 in fall 2024 and 46,184 in fall 2025. The fall 2023 first-year admit rate was 25.4 percent, with 18,793 admitted from 74,038 applicants, and third-party sources disagree on its current testing policy. The campus lies in Florida's capital, a short distance from the state government offices.
