About Stetson University

Stetson University dares its undergraduate and graduate students to go beyond success – to go instead to significance. For more than 135 years, Stetson’s mission has remained constant, engaging students with rigorous academics and instilling civic values for life.

Stetson is an independent university offering a comprehensive education in the arts and sciences, business, law, and music. Founded in 1883 as Florida’s first private university, Stetson today has three locations across Central Florida: DeLand, Tampa, and Gulfport. The College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Business Administration, and the School of Music are on the historic campus in DeLand, a community-minded city between Daytona Beach and Orlando. The university also includes the Tampa Law Center and the College of Law in the Gulfport and St. Petersburg area. The university has achieved national distinction through special programs and accreditations. Stetson was the first private university in Florida to be awarded a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa--the nation’s oldest and most prestigious undergraduate honor society--and consistently earns high national rankings for academic excellence and community-engaged learning.
