About St. Andrews University

On April 6, 1927, Grace Knight and Roger W. Babson founded the University which carries the name of their granddaughter, Camilla Grace Webber. Roger was best known for his contributions in the areas of economics and finance, which included the establishment of Babson-s Reports and authorship of a number of business publications and books. His philanthropic contributions included the formation of several institutions of higher learning and service on a number of corporate boards, as well as the endowment of several charitable foundations. Webber was founded as a women-s college, with the exclusive purpose of teaching women about business. It was the first school chartered under the educational and charitable laws of the State of Florida as a non-profit organization. Originally the Babson Park campus was only used for the Spring term, while fall classes were taught in Boston. In 1940, Babson Park became the University-s permanent campus and our student body became co-ed in 1971. Our campus is situated on the shore of beautiful Crooked Lake and in addition to our classroom and administration buildings, we have a Student Union, four dormitories, two gymnasiums, a state of the art fitness center and a conference center. Webber is a member of the NAIA and the Florida Sun Conference. Webber women participate in soccer, volleyball (indoor and beach), basketball, tennis, softball, cross-country, golf, track and field and bowling. Men compete in cross-country, soccer, basketball, tennis, baseball, golf, track and field, football and bowling. In addition to our traditional undergraduate program, we proudly offer a Master of Business Administration degree program with emphasis in Accounting, International Business, Security Management, and Sport Management. We also offer an adult education program. Webber will continue to propagate the ideals envisioned by its founders. Built upon a solid legacy of experience and knowledge, Webber will prepare tomorrow-s business leaders to meet the challenges of the future by instilling a desire for innovative thought and creative accomplishment.
