FSU Rises (Slightly) in US News & World Report Best Colleges Rankings

Rankings aren’t everything, but it’s better to go up than down:

FSU’s rankings from 2008 to 2016:

112, 102, 102, 104, 101, 97, 91, 95, 92

The goal is to be ranked in the top 25 of public universities (it’s currently 38th). That would mean being ranked about 70 or less in the national university rankings.

Also note that 30 schools where added to this year list. Some, like Villanova (ranked 50th) would also act to lower a schools rankings.

There seems to be a gradual trend towards improvement. FSU’s ranking apparently benefits from a strong graduation rate relative to its modest finances.
