Student success is at the heart of everything we do at Florida State University. Our undergraduate student retention rate (97%) and four-year graduation rate (78%) are on par with the top 10 public universities in the nation. In 2021, FSU was recognized with the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities’ Degree Completion Award, largely recognized as the top undergraduate student success award in the nation. Additionally, FSU has committed $10 million over five years to enhance graduate student success through our 2024 Quality Enhancement Plan.
Through our integrated, dynamic, and data-engaged approach to supporting students, FSU ensures that students are connected to faculty and staff who are committed to helping them achieve ambitious educational and career goals while preparing them with the foundational skills for the lifelong learning and professional development required in a rapidly changing world.
