![]() Campus LocationsSeminole State College (Seminole State) is located in the metropolitan Orlando area in Seminole County, Florida. Seminole State provides learning opportunities at four campuses and sites throughout the county. Seminole State opened its doors on the Sanford/Lake Mary Campus in 1965. Located 15 miles north of Orlando, the campus features 200 acres of beautiful, rolling countryside, and is bordered by Sanford on the north and Lake Mary on the west. The Oviedo Campus opened in January 2001, with a complement of college-credit, technical, continuing education and personal enrichment class offerings. Oviedo, the fastest-growing city in the county, experienced 91 percent growth from 1990-1999. This campus is nestled just three miles north of the University of Central Florida and 17 miles northeast of Orlando. The Center for Economic Development at Heathrow was opened in 2007. This facility, in addition to housing Seminole State's third major campus in Seminole County, also includes an economic development suite. A first-of-its-kind public/private partnership, this arrangement is expected to strengthen Central Florida's economic development efforts and produce highly skilled workers to attract high-paying jobs to the area. In January 2008, Seminole State opened its newest campus in Altamonte Springs. This campus is the first phase in an ongoing major expansion into Southwest Seminole County, an area that includes nearly a quarter of a million residents. The Florida High Tech Corridor cuts through Seminole County, fostering an explosion of high-tech industrial growth that has taken several forms. Most notable is the establishment of corporate headquarters for the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the emergence of high-tech manufacturers such as Veritas, Siemens ICN and InterVoice-Brite. Expansion of Orlando Sanford International Airport, including the opening of an international complex and enlargement of the domestic terminal, has helped this airport to become the state's third-busiest international port of entry. The county's public school system is rated among the highest in Florida, and the median household effective buying income is the highest in the region. |
