Hello and welcome to the Collier County Campus of Edison State College in beautiful Naples, Florida!

As president of the Collier Campus of Edison State College here in Naples, I am proud of the high quality, practical education that our students receive. At Edison we believe in each and every student and their potential to be productive citizens who give back to our community. As Naples designer Holland Salley often tells people, Edison State College offers H.O.P.E. Helping One Person Excel for many traditional and non-traditional students. The results of our focus on the individual student are evident. Everyday your life in Southwest Florida is touched by our graduates - nurses, paramedics, firefighters, police officers, banking professionals - to name a few. They are working hard to make Naples a healthy, safe and caring place to live.

Consequently, it is hard to believe that even after 30 years of operation in the community and serving over 20,000 students from across the globe, I still hear people say "I didn't know that Edison State College had a campus in Naples." I want everyone to know that we are here - In Naples For Naples! We are more than a college. We are a center for lifelong learning dedicated to providing you with easy access to quality higher education.

This year we celebrate our 30th anniversary serving the needs of this community. From humble beginnings with just three classrooms in the Chlomsky Building on Davis Boulevard to the beautiful 50-acre Collier Campus now located just 5 miles from downtown Naples and convenient to I -75, we are your college. There are many exciting programs and opportunities available at the Collier Campus of Edison State College. Don't just take my word for it. Come and see for yourself. Edison State College - In Naples For Naples!
