FLISM at a Glance
Our Inspiration
The Buckman Act of 1905
The year 1905 is one of the most important years in the history of higher education in Florida.
The inspiration for the Florida Institute of Science and Management is the Buckman Act of 1905 which shaped the history of public education in the state of Florida.
The Buckman Act of 1905 reorganized Florida’s higher education system, leading to the creation of the University of Florida in Gainesville and the Florida State College for Women (now Florida State University). The act was named for legislator Henry Holland Buckman.
Gainesville was chosen for the location of the new school among several competing cities, and the UF campus opened in 1906. The act also marked the beginning of a structured approach to higher education in the state, focusing on providing specialized institutions for men and women.
