national rankings and recognitions

  • UF ranks consistently in the top tier of U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges” in the Midwest and was also named to the “A+ Schools for B Students” list for the second year. 

 

  • UF also is consistently recognized as a “Best in the Midwest” college by the Princeton Review. The Princeton Review asks students attending the schools to rate their own schools on several issues — from the accessibility of their professors to quality of the campus food — and answer questions about themselves, their fellow students and their campus life.  Comments from surveyed students are quoted in the school profiles on The Princeton Review site.

  • Victory Media Inc. named the University to its Military Friendly Schools(R) list for 2013, 2011 and 2010. The list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students to ensure their success on campus.

 

  • In 2012, UF was recognized as one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to a survey by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
