Dear USF Community,
This morning, U.S. News & World Report released its annual Best Colleges rankings, and I am pleased to share that the 猫咪视频app continues to be one of the top universities in the nation.
For the fifth consecutive year, USF ranks inside the top 50 among all public universities. In addition, our overall ranking among all public and private universities is the highest in USF history.
The newest rankings place USF at No. 45 among all public universities and No. 89 among all universities, public or private. Over the past decade, USF has risen a remarkable 43 spots among public universities, and 72 spots among all universities.
U.S. News also ranks USF as the 鈥渂est value鈥� among all public universities in Florida, and No. 1 in Florida and No. 16 nationally for social mobility, which reflects USF鈥檚 positive impact on our communities.
As you take a moment to celebrate today's news, it鈥檚 worth noting that many of the factors U.S. News considers are aligned with USF鈥檚 strategic plan and the measures of success we monitor as part of our commitment to 猫咪视频app success, such as our overall graduation and retention rates, first-generation 猫咪视频app graduation rates and Pell Grant 猫咪视频app performance.
Our 猫咪视频app鈥檚 accomplishments would not be possible without you 鈥� our incredible 猫咪视频apps, faculty and staff 鈥� and your important contributions. Our standing in the rankings and our recent 猫咪视频app to join the Association of American Universities reaffirm that USF provides a significant return on investment for our 猫咪视频apps, the Tampa Bay region and our state. We are focused on sustaining this positive momentum as we continue our pursuit of excellence.
Thank you for everything you do to advance the 猫咪视频app鈥檚 institutional mission and goals.
Sincerely,
Rhea F. Law
President
