The University of Tampa (UTampa, UT or Tampa U)[7]) is a private university in Tampa, Florida. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. UTampa offers more than 200 programs of study, including 19 master's degrees and a broad variety of majors, minors, pre-professional programs and certificates.
The school began as a junior college housed in a local high school in 1931, then moved to its current location and expanded to become a four-year university in 1933. UTampa grew gradually in the following decades. Since the turn of the 21st century, it has expanded and extensively modernized its campus while increasing enrollment to over 11,000 students.
The school's central building, Plant Hall, once housed the Tampa Bay Hotel, a resort built by Henry B. Plant in 1891. The Moorish minarets atop the distinctive structure have long been a symbol of Tampa.[8]
