Expect to meet some fellow independent thinkers
Our 1,900 students travel an average of 1,000 miles from home to come to Eckerd, so expect to meet others with extremely varied interests.
In addition to athletics—including NCAA Division II athletics, club sports and intramurals—and one of the largest collegiate Waterfront programs in the Southeast, you can choose to participate in over 100 student organizations.
