Here are seven reasons why you should visit:
1. Significance
We think college is much more than a long layover before getting a job. We’ve been integrating values with learning for over 128 years. But don’t take our word for it – check out the respected Washington Monthly analysis, which measures a university’s contribution to the public good. They ranked us 23rd out of 551 institutions of higher education across the country! It’s no mistake that we have one of the only Bonner Scholars programs in the nation, which structures community service into the academic curriculum.
2. PBK
Nope, it’s not a sandwich. It stands for Phi Beta Kappa, the most prestigious academic honor society in the country and the Gold Seal of Approval for academic excellence. (Seven of the current Supreme Court justices are Phi Beta Kappa.) It’s a high honor and only the top schools have chapters.
3. Special Admission
Already have your eye on graduate school? Great! We have special admission agreements with Stetson College of Law, Stetson Master’s Program in Counseling, and Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Our faculty advisors help you navigate the process from start to finish.
4. Where Everybody Knows Your Name
With a student/faculty ratio of 12-to-1, our faculty will mentor you throughout your time here. No student teachers, either. And you’ll never walk across campus without seeing someone you know along the way.
5. Sports & Clubs
Division I Athletics – need we say more? Okay – yes, we have 14 Club Sports as well, plus intramurals. Not a sports fan? No problem. In addition to scores of clubs and organizations, you could even start your own.
6. A Great After-life
With an alumni population eager to help, plus Pre-Med and Pre-Law programs with great placement stats, it’s no wonder that our grads are securing jobs and spots in grad school.
7. Top National Rankings
Not that we’re competitive or anything but we do consistently rank in the “Top 3 Best Colleges in the South,” according to US News & World Report, the most popular rankings analysis in the country. They’ve also ranked us in the “Top 3 for Best Value” in our category, meaning that there’s a great return on the investment.
