Florida State University edged closer to its goal of becoming a top 25 national public university Tuesday, placing No. 33 in the just released U.S News & World Report rankings.
 
In the 2017 list, FSU ranked No. 38 and in 2016, placed No. 43.

FSU shared the No. 33 spot with Michigan State University, North Carolina State University, University of California-Santa Cruz and the University of Delaware.

The University of Florida also moved up five spots, moving from No. 14 to No. 9.
