Our mission at Stetson University is to provide an excellent education in a creative community where learning and values meet, and to foster in students the qualities of mind and heart that will prepare them to reach their full potential as informed citizens of local communities and the world.
Research

Faculty place high value on continuous intellectual and creative inquiry as part of the students' learning process, with an emphasis on the Boyer Model — discovery, integration, application and teaching.
