Pensacola State College

Pensacola State College, formerly known as Pensacola Junior College, is a public state college in Pensacola, Florida, United States, and a member institution of the Florida College System.

The main campus, located in Pensacola, was opened in 1948 and was the first institute of higher learning in Pensacola. Pensacola State quickly expanded to include a downtown campus in 1957, a Milton campus in 1971, and a Warrington campus in 1977. A mini-campus opened on Naval Air Station Pensacola in 1981 but was destroyed during hurricane Ivan in 2004. In July 2010, the college changed its name to Pensacola State College in order to reflect its transition into offering 4-year degrees. The current President is Dr. Charles E. Meadows. The college is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
