St. Johns River State College is a public college in Northeast Florida with campuses in Palatka, St. Augustine, and Orange Park. Founded in 1958 (for organizational purposes) as St. Johns River Junior College, a historically black college, it is part of the Florida College System. It is one of several colleges in the system designated in 2001 as a "state college", meaning they can offer more bachelor degrees and academic programs than traditional community colleges can.
It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Florida School of the Arts, Florida's first state-sponsored arts school, is housed within the Palatka Campus.
