Florida State University ranked No. 13 in ‘Niche’ best public colleges list

Florida State University ranked No. 13 among all public universities in the United States by Niche, a research company that produces an annual ranking of colleges and universities.

“That’s a very big deal,” said FSU President Richard McCullough. “People are taking notice of the things that we’re doing at Florida State.”

Niche produces in-depth profiles of every school and college in the United States, with more than 140 million reviews and ratings from students and alumni. For its annual rankings, the company examines data from the U.S. Department of Education on academics, admissions, finances and student life.

The ranking reflects the strength of FSU’s national and international reputation among students and alumni.

Students cite access to academic and student services, opportunities to get involved in campus organizations and the beautiful campus in their ratings.

The university’s rising reputation has produced record-breaking numbers of first-year admissions applications. Since 2016, FSU has seen an astounding 157% increase in first-year applications and last spring admitted the most academically accomplished class in its history.

FSU, bolstered by its increasing graduation and retention rates, also has been ranked as a Top 20 national public university by U.S. News & World Report for the past four years.

FSU’s Jim Moran College keeps No. 19 ranking as it observes National Entrepreneurship Month

Florida State University’s Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship says it’s giving creative and innovative students opportunities to have a “positive impact on the world” — and the college’s peers continue to take note.

The college has kept its No. 19 spot in The Princeton Review’s latest rankings of the nation’s top undergraduate entrepreneurship programs. The college also ranks No. 3 in the South and No. 11 among public schools.

The Princeton Review said it based the rankings for its “Top Schools for Entrepreneurship 2023” on a 2022 survey of administrators at nearly 300 undergraduate and graduate schools that offer entrepreneurship studies.

The rankings were released this week as FSU observes National Entrepreneurship Month and as officials reflect on the explosive growth and success of the college, which in 2019 became the nation’s first standalone college of entrepreneurship.

FSU AD Michael Alford: Seminoles would be top 5 in revenue in SEC, Big 10

Florida State athletic director Michael Alford spoke at the university’s Board of Trustees meeting on Friday, November 14, sharing updates on the various ongoings of the Seminoles’ athletic department.

He spoke on facilities updates, sharing progress on renovations to FSU’s football, baseball, softball, volleyball, beach volleyball and track infrastructure as confirming that the football-only facility is set to break ground in December.

Most notably, though, Alford took time to share some key statistics on the financial status of the Seminoles and how the program stacks up in regard to major conferences.

According to numbers he shared, if conference distributions were removed (TV contracts, postseason payouts, etc.), FSU would rank third in the SEC in revenue generated — ahead of schools like the Alabama Crimson Tide, LSU Tigers and Florida Gators.

When comparing against Big 10 schools, Florida State ranks third, behind the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines but ahead of the Penn State Nittany Lions, Iowa Hawkeyes, Wisconsin Badgers, and others.
