Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) is a state college in Jacksonville, Florida, U.S., and part of the Florida College System. It is one of several institutions in the Florida College System designated a "state college", as it offers a greater number of four-year bachelor's degrees than traditional two-year community colleges.
The school was founded in 1966 as Florida Junior College. It was known as Florida Community College at Jacksonville from 1986–2009, at which point it took its current name to reflect its changed focus. The college has four major physical campuses and several additional centers located around the First Coast region, and currently enrolls 81,370 students, making it the second largest institution of higher education in Florida.
