The UCF College of Community Innovation and Education brings together academic programs focused on building stronger communities. The college is home to a wide variety of disciplines and established partnerships, where we work on innovative solutions to complex social issues that affect communities throughout Central Florida and beyond.
Our teaching, service and research aim to improve society starting with the lives of individuals within our communities. We want to help establish a new social equilibrium, one that starts with equity.
As the anchor college to UCF Downtown, select academic programs are housed in downtown Orlando. This location offers students numerous opportunities to engage in community-based experiences, including internships, practicums and research — all in the heart of the Orlando.
We are a unique college, one that brings together scholars, students and staff members from a wide variety of academic disciplines to work together, and with members of local, national and international communities, to address the most pressing and complex social issues of our time.
