Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday touted Florida’s higher-education system after it was named best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report , citing relatively low amounts of debt when students graduate and a “worthwhile education” they receive.
“Our colleges and universities have prioritized affordability and pathways for career and life, and, as a result, they are transforming out state,” the governor said at a news conference. “I look forward to celebrating continued success as we build on this positive momentum.”
For the third year in a row, Florida held the No. 1 spot in the U.S. News ranking for higher education. The ranking was based, in part, on low tuition costs and a large share of students who complete two-year degree programs within three years.
Yet Florida lags in educational attainment, which is calculated by the number of people in the state who are 25 or older with an associate degree or higher. The state ranks No. 27 in that area.
Three Florida schools were ranked by U.S. News in the top 100 national universities. The University of Florida was ranked in a tie for No. 35; the University of Miami was ranked in a tie for No. 53; and Florida State University was ranked in a tie for No. 70.
