TAMPA, Fla. (Dec. 2, 2013) - The University of South Florida moved up to No. 43 in the federal government’s ranking of research spending among both public and private institutions – a 10-place improvement that came in a year when higher education research spending across the nation was largely stagnant.

 

USF’s upward trajectory was fueled by the university’s growing success in securing private and non-governmental research grants and contracts, a trend that helped USF continue to grow its total research grants and contracts to a new record of $413.6 million and buffer against the automatic federal funding cuts known as sequester.

We're number 2 in the state in this category, when compared to the public universities, right?

No... all universities, public and private.

 

UM ranks #61.

AAU or bust! I see it as do-able within 10 years. The six year graduation rate has to improve along with student/teacher ratios.

Excellent! Research is a core metric in prestige to me. I am happy to see the progress USF has made in the research community.

I know people like to underestimate USF's academic profile. But, #43 in the nation and #2 in Florida for research is not a borderline community college "commuter school."

Go Bulls!
