o "In 1853, the state-funded East Florida Seminary took over the Kingsbury Academy in Ocala. The seminary moved to Gainesville in the 1860s and later was consolidated with the state's land-grant Florida Agricultural College, then in Lake City. In 1905, by legislative action, the college became a university and was moved to Gainesville. Classes first met with 102 students on the present site on Sept. 26, 1906. UF officially opened its doors to women in 1947. With more than 50,000 students, UF is now one of the largest universities in the nation."

• "Its faculty and staff are dedicated to the common pursuit of the university's threefold mission: teaching, research and service."o "Teaching is a fundamental purpose of this university at both the

and to the expansion of our understanding of the natural world, the intellect and the senses.

o Service reflects the university's obligation to share the benefits of its research and knowledge for the public good. The university serves the nation's and the state's critical needs by contributing to a well-qualified and broadly diverse citizenry, leadership and workforce."

The Developmental Education offered by the University of Florida is more Continuing Education and Professional Development than Learning support. I was unable to find information about learning Support at University of Florida.

The Professional Development and Continuing Education programs offered at University of Florida are mostly online programs.

"Professional Development offers non-credit pre-licensure and pre-certification programs and courses for those interested in improving their professional skills, seeking a credential, or searching for a change in career."

Professional Development has an open enrollment policy, allowing students to start their courses whenever it is convenient.

Many of the Professional Development and Continuing Education programs are specific to and regulated by related departments within the university.


Environmental Occupations Training for Water Management

Growers and Packers Training Landscape Maintenance Dental Continuing Education Health Care Risk Management and Patient Safety Nursing Continuing Education Psychometry Legal Assistant Certificate Tourism Crisis Management


o The Dental Continuing Education Program has corporate

sponsors, some of which are listed below: Biolase BioHorizons Brassler USA Captek Crest Oral-B (The Proctor and Gamble Company) Johnson and Johnson National Dentex Corporation


I was not able to find much about community education. The only allusion to community education I could find was the existence of a Center for Community Education housed under the research efforts of their College of Education.


"The mission of the Center for Community Education (CCE) is to promote the continued development of community education and community schools by providing research, materials development, and technical assistance at the local, state, national, and international levels. CCE’s mission is aligned with the advancement of the COE’s mission by collaborating with others to solve educational and human problems in a diverse global community. CCE uses a collaborative approach in planning, providing, and evaluating educational programs and services to emphasize the significant role that community based education and full-service schools can play in helping to close the achievement gap among children who live in very distressed communities."


Of the 2004-2005 Cohort the percentage of students who re-enrolled are as follows:• 94.71% for a second year• 90.93% for a third year• 88.4% for a fourth year• 86.66% for a fifth year• 85.66% for a sixth year

Of the 2004-2005 Cohort• .01% graduated after one year• .09% after two years• 3.5% after three years• 59.03% after four years• 80.63% after five years• 84.17% after six years
