The college traces its origins to FSU's founding in 1851 and is the oldest college of its kind in Florida. Following a significant expansion in 2023 and renaming in 2024 after alumna Anne Spencer Daves, the college is organized across six academic departments: Educational Leadership & Policy Studies; Educational Psychology & Learning Systems; Health, Nutrition & Food Sciences; Human Development & Family Science; Sport Management; and the School of Teacher Education. The college serves undergraduate students, graduate students, and continuing-education professionals across Florida, the broader southeastern United States, and a global online-learning audience.

Research infrastructure includes 15+ specialized centers and research teams, including the Institute of Sports Sciences and Medicine, Learning Systems Institute, Family Institute, Florida Center for Reading Research, Center for Couple and Family Therapy, and the Center for Integrative Nutrition and Food Research. Three laboratory schools — Florida State University School, FSU Pembroke Pines Charter School, and The Collegiate School at FSU Panama City — function simultaneously as K-12 educational institutions and as teaching, research, and service facilities for the college. Support resources include the Tech Sandbox, Assessment Learning Evaluation & Counseling Center (ALEC), Learning Resource Center, Sport Psychology Lab, and a Qualtrics-powered Anne's College Subject Pool.

Revenue derives primarily from tuition and fees (set by the Florida Board of Governors), externally funded research grants and contracts (federal, state, and private), and philanthropic contributions supporting scholarships and endowed positions. Marketing and admissions are funneled through FSU's centralized infrastructure, augmented by college-specific digital channels and recurring events such as the Distinguished Alumni Awards, Research Showcase, Scholarship Breakfast, Sport Management Conference, and ElevatED Torch Awards. In the 2026-27 U.S. News & World Report rankings, FSU's education and educational research programs ranked No. 25 globally, No. 2 among U.S. public universities, and No. 1 in Florida, with additional top-100 global placements in psychiatry/psychology (No. 80), social sciences/public health (No. 89), and arts/humanities (No. 92).
