In other important categories in the South, Stetson improved in the rankings, reaching No. 10 for Best Value Schools, up from No. 12 last year. The university also climbed eight spots to No. 4 for Best Undergraduate Teaching Programs and moved up three spots to No. 26 in Top Performers on Social Mobility.
“We are happy to see U.S. News & World Report acknowledge the exceptional quality of a Stetson education,” said Stetson President Christopher F. Roellke, PhD. “Our continuous growth in these rankings reflects the strong dedication of our faculty and staff to academic excellence and the success of our students.”
The Stetson College of Law was ranked No. 1 in the nation for Trial Advocacy and No. 3 for Legal Writing in the 2024 U.S. News & World Report rankings. Stetson is the only law school to consistently rank among the top schools in the nation in both Advocacy and Legal Writing year after year.
For its undergraduate programs, Stetson was also recognized as one of the best institutions in the nation and in the Southeast for the ninth consecutive year by The Princeton Review in the 2024 edition of The Best 389 Colleges. Additionally, the university was selected for the first time as a national College of Distinction for 2023-2024.
Stetson is consistently praised for its small class sizes and low student-to-faculty ratio, providing undergraduate students with individual attention and close working relationships with esteemed faculty. The university also emphasizes experiential learning with hands-on opportunities for research, study abroad, and internships.
“It is an honor to receive these recognitions,” Roellke added, “and we look forward to continuing to build on Stetson’s remarkable 140-year legacy.”
