Established in 1887, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) was founded as the State Normal College for Colored Students.

FAMU offers 97-degree programs and has an enrollment of more than 10,000 students. At the center of campus the Eternal Flame has burned brightly as a symbol of Rattler excellence since Time magazine's selection of FAMU as the 1997-1998 College of the Year.
