<p>USF was recently recognized again by US News & World Report as one of America's 'top up-and-coming' universities...the fourth time since the annual list's debut in 2009.</p>
<p>USF also earns an additional mention in the 2014 US News' Best Colleges compendium, registering at No. 170 on the list of Best National Universities. The university's three-year change of 11 places, up from No. 181 in 2012, is the best showing of the four State University System (SUS) of Florida institutions making the annual list, including the University of Florida, Florida State and University of Central Florida.</p>
