The University of Central Florida (commonly referred to as UCF) is a university located in Orlando, Florida. UCF is the largest undergraduate school in the state of Florida, the second largest school-including graduate programs, and is the sixth-largest university in the nation.
UCF is a member institution of the State University System of Florida. UCF was founded in 1963 as Florida Technological University with the goal of providing highly trained personnel to support the Kennedy Space Center, located only 35 miles (56 km) to the east, and to this day maintains a satellite campus at the Space Center. In 1978 the school was renamed the University of Central Florida as its academic scope expanded to encompass all academic fields. In 1990, the University of Central Florida founded the Space Education and Research Center and is a member of the NASA Space grant college.
As of 2007, total enrollment consists of a 49,000 student body seeking bachelor's degrees, through doctorates, as well as certificates and specialist degrees. The university is organized into twelve colleges providing nearly 100 separate courses of study with the majority of the population located at the main campus located approximately 13 miles (21 km) east of downtown Orlando and 55 miles (89 km) south of Daytona Beach. Since its rapid growth starting in the late 1990s UCF has expanded its influence through out Florida and now consists of twelve satellite campuses in eastern central Florida. The University of Central Florida is listed in “The Best 361 Colleges: 2006 Edition” by The Princeton Review. The Princeton Review’s recognition comes as the academic quality of UCF students continues to rise. In the 2007 edition of US News, it is ranked as a Tier 3 National University. In the Fall of 2006, UCF's admission rate declined drastically from 61% of prospective students admitted to only 46%, as a result of more and more students applying to the university each year. Freshmen admitted in Fall 2007 posted average SAT scores of 1217, ACT scores of 26.1 and weighted high school GPAs of 3.72. UCF has been very successful in recruiting National Merit Scholars and is one of the Top 50 schools in the country by enrollment with 43 scholars.
UCF's official colors are black and gold, the various sports teams go by the name of Knights and the official mascot is a male gold-armored black knight named Knightro. The UCF academic logo is a Pegasus.
