Dare to be Significant™

CAMPUS HOURS 

Since 1883, Stetson’s vision has remained constant, engaging students with rigorous academics and instilling civic values for life. We educate those who are daring enough to pursue, not just success, but significance. Students develop the ability to explore deeply, think critically and express ideas clearly and creatively. Our commitment is to engage students in every aspect of their academic and campus life, to establish and strengthen the skills necessary to rise above personal challenge and shape the future.
