Saint Petersburg College - Nursing Program
In 1927, St. Petersburg College (formerly known as St. Petersburg Junior College) became Florida's first private, non-profit, two-year school of higher learning located in downtown St. Petersburg. Full accreditation followed in 1931 and in 1948 SPC became a public college.
In June 2001, SPJC officially became St. Petersburg College when Florida's governor signed legislation making SPC the first community college in the state of Florida to offer four-year degrees. On December 11, 2001, the college received the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' accreditation to offer courses leading to bachelor's degrees.
In 2002, St. Petersburg College began offering courses leading to bachelor's degrees in Education, Nursing and Technology Management. The college's commitment to its two-year curriculum, which has earned it wide recognition and annually wins it high national rankings, remains as strong as ever.
Today, SPC has 10 learning sites throughout Pinellas County and recently became the first college in the state of Florida to offer a four-year degree in Dental Hygiene. This program's offerings augment its two-year program that has been in operation since 1963. Four-year degree programs in Veterinary Technology, Public Safety Administration and Orthotics and Prosthetics began in 2005.
