For the 11th year, Stetson is recognized as one of the best comprehensive regional universities in the nation. Va. Schools are divided into categories established by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. U.S. News first published the survey as a guide for college-bound students and their parents in 1985. It's important to note, however, that the choice of a school requires careful research and consideration of many factors before an enrollment decision is made.
Surveys are one tool in the process.
While Stetson ranks well in academic reputation and other categories, the university is unlikely ever to score well in the area of student selectivity, Beasley said. In that category, colleges that turn away large numbers of applicants pick up points. We prefer not to have to reject applicants because they lack the necessary educational background and academic skills. The DeLand campus offers a College of Arts and Sciences, School of Music and School of Business Administration. The College of Law, founded in 1900 and the state's first law school, is in St. Petersburg.
