Florida Christian University grew from Florida Theological Seminary, founded in 1985, by the first president Rev. Dr. Harold L. Shindoll, ThD. The seminary was the visionary foundation of Florida Christian University. Undergraduate and Graduate students in "Biblical Studies," "Pastoral Leadership," and "Theology" may have their diplomas with the title of either "Florida Christian University" or "Florida Theological Seminary." These "Biblical Studies," "Pastoral Leadership," and "Theology" courses will apply for a degree for graduation from either "Florida Christian University" or "Florida Theological Seminary." In the beginning academic programs were limited to classes at the Orlando campus. But distance learning education programs by video, independent study, and online provided for the university's Global Outreach to meet the growing student interest.
