Against a backdrop of palm trees and blue water, in an atmosphere of intellectual richness and openness, through remarkable relationships and experiences of many kinds, Eckerd College changes lives.

Located on the waterfront of St. Petersburg, Florida, Eckerd College is a private, coeducational college of liberal arts and sciences. Founded in 1958, Eckerd is a pioneer of responsible innovation - developing programs that have been adopted nationwide and earning the college an international reputation for academic excellence. Eckerd is one of only 40 schools listed in Loren Pope's Colleges That Change Lives and, in 2003, became one of the youngest colleges to receive a Phi Beta Kappa chapter. Eckerd's Leadership Development Institute executive education program, Academy of Senior Professionals at Eckerd College (ASPEC), and offerings through Senior College and Elderhostel identify the college as a national leader in continuing education.
