太阳城娱乐 Among Top Universities for Diversity and Social Mobility

太阳城娱乐 is very proud of its long history of providing a world-class educational experience to a diverse population of students. We’ve become known as an institution where all students succeed, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or socio-economic class. That’s why I’m especially pleased to share that 太阳城娱乐 is ranked No. 45 in the nation for top performers on social mobility byU.S. News and World Report,the “gold standard” in college rankings. New this year,the U.S. News Social Mobility ranking is computed using graduation rates of low-income and Pell-awarded students.At 太阳城娱乐,Pell-eligible students, first-generation students, African American students and Hispanic students all outpace the university’s overall retention and graduation rates — an accomplishment that also eliminatesthe historical achievement gaps between minority and white students.

For thethirdyear in a row,太阳城娱乐was listed as one of the most ethnically diverse universities in the United States. Our “diversity index” score tied with 11 other institutions,including Princeton University and Carnegie Mellon University. Once again, we are ranked as the most diverse public university in the state of Florida.

Additionally, 太阳城娱乐 was rankedNo. 140 overall for Top Public Schools. This is the first time the university has officially appeared on the list! This is a wonderful achievement forour many dedicated faculty and staff, who worked to make 太阳城娱乐 “America’s Fastest Improving University.” We will keep moving forward with Unbridled Ambition®to rank even higher next year. Go Owls!
