This is Jacksonville University.

Congratulations. You’re exploring colleges. Time to fill out forms, and write essays, and visit campuses, and talk non-stop about your future.

But before we talk about YOUR future, let’s talk about THE future. This one. No, this one. Okay, maybe this one.

Here’s the thing: The future hasn’t happened yet. There are ideas about it, but they look less like answers and more like questions, every question inspiring another question. And that’s how it’s always been.

They used to ask what happens when it’s not done by hand? When there are machines, or software, or robots? Questions, not answers.

And that’s where you come in. You’ll ask the questions that guide your future, and find the answers that define the future.

Where should you go to get ready for that? Glad you asked.

This is Jacksonville University. It’s not just a perfect place for sunny waterfront beauty shots. Although…

Here, you choose the future you want. How? By defining it yourself. You customize your path and make it one-of-a-kind. Define it on your own terms.

Want to combine majors? Go for it. This is a place to turn ideas into plans, and plans into reality. It’s a place to learn by doing. To do the research and ask important questions. To dare and fail and try again. And succeed. And then take that success and attack the next big challenge.

Bringing marine life back from the brink. Reimagining transportation. Robotics. AI. VR. The next big thing.

What you take on and how you approach it: that’s up to you.

You want to build a future where you decide what impact you make? You’ve come to the right place.
