The purpose of the Florida School of Banking is to provide bank personnel at the supervisory and officer level the opportunity to increase their knowledge about the banking industry and the economy. It is conducted on a three-year cycle, and will celebrate its 49th anniversary in 2018. Annual sessions must be taken in sequence, and it is presumed that once students are enrolled in the first year course, they will continue through the second and third years to graduation. The School remains current and relevant, as attested by 2,837 graduates, and continues to offer an excellent educational opportunity.
