Research
The University of South Florida is ranked 25th among public research universities for research spending – a metric used to chart the level of research activity at American institutions – according to a new report by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Student Success
Founded in 1776, the Phi Beta Kappa Society (PBK) only awards a limited number of new chapters every three years and only 36 percent of its member institutions are public. The average founding date of PBK institutions is 1860, nearly a century before USF’s formation in 1956.
Academics
The University of South Florida recognized a significant milestone in the construction of the new USF Health Morsani College of Medicine and Heart Institute by holding a “topping-off” celebration.
Preeminence is the highest designation that a research university can earn from the State of Florida. Since the program became Florida Law in 2013, USF has had its sights firmly set on achieving Preeminence. While our journey to reach national excellence started long before then – and by no means will stop now – USF has finally reached all the thresholds necessary to achieve the designation.
