Who We Are

The Cross College Alliance is comprised of five institutions dedicated to higher education and community building along the West Coast of Florida. We are colleges, universities and campuses with our own, distinct identities and offerings that share a common vision: to build a network among the region's educational organizations that amplifies and expands learning opportunities for our students and the communities that surround us.

Making Talent Connections

We prepare students for work and life. That preparation includes classroom, service and work experiences. We are committed to connecting our students with employers through internships and employment. We know that students may take jobs outside the region but we are dedicated to assuring they are well aware of great regional options to start their careers. We stay in touch with alumni about job opportunities.
