The University of North Florida was established in 1969, but it did not welcome students until October 2, 1972, when 2,027 upper-division and master's students arrived. Land on Jacksonville's Southside came partly from a 500-acre gift by the Skinner family, and the first president was Thomas Carpenter. The first graduating class of 35 finished in 1973 and accreditation followed in 1974. The campus now covers about 1,300 acres around a natural preserve. UNF enrolled 16,406 students in fall 2022. The Coggin College of Business is AACSB-accredited, the jazz ensemble has twice been named the nation's top collegiate jazz band by DownBeat, and coastal biology and community nursing are flagship programmes. The Ospreys compete in NCAA Division I in the ASUN Conference and have won national titles in men's golf and women's tennis. Reported acceptance is about 72%.
