Stetson University offers about 80 programs a year at several different locations around Central Florida. Currently we offer traditional programs on our campus in DeLand and ocean front in Daytona Beach. These programs consist of three academic programs on a variety of topics such as art, literature, religion, music, area studies, history and politics and are taught by university professors or local experts.
