The Experience
|
UWT's Palatka campus in sunny, mostly Spanish-speaking Florida offers a unique and authentic immersion experience while staying true to the university's "pinch every penny" mantra.
Aside from being a destination in itself, Palatka's convenient location in rural northeast Florida allows for students to take day trips to historic nearby places such as St. Augustine while also engaging themselves in the cultural activities of arts hotspots such as Samsula (home of cole slaw wrestling at the Cabbage Patch bar - a hit during Bike Week!). Although a residential meal plan is not offered, don't worry - our students don't go hungry! Step out of your comfort zone and discover culinary excellence at one of the area's seven restaurants, including Krystal, Chili's, and Golden Corral. |
Degree Program Offered Only in Palatka:
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Paper Production and Manufacture
The Palatka campus also capitalizes on the paper industry's important role in the city (nearly one out of every 10 male residents is employed in the paper industry, a rate unmatched by hardly any city in the southeast) to offer a BS in Paper Production and Manufacture, the only of its kind in the country.
Students in this program complete the first three years of their degree in Topeka and the final year in Palatka.

The cost

Other opportunities
Students may also immerse themselves in the local community and communicate with residents by enrolling in classes at St. Johns River State College (additional fees apply).
