UT Named One of the Best Colleges by the Princeton Review
The University of Tampa has been again named by The Princeton Review as one of the nation's best institutions for undergraduate education and is described as a “sunny, growing, global university.”
In its profile, students praise UT’s “many resources and opportunities” and its “hands-on and experiential learning.”
The rankings, “Best 389 Colleges for 2024,” are based on surveys of 165,000 students at 389 top colleges.
“We salute The University of Tampa for its outstanding academics and its many other impressive offerings. We’re delighted to recommend it as an ideal choice for students searching for their ‘best-fit’ college,” said Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review and author of The Best 389 Colleges: 2024 Edition.
In its profile, students praise UT’s “many resources and opportunities” and its “hands-on and experiential learning.” They also acknowledge the “amazing professors” who are “very much available for extra help or extra explanations both during and outside of class” and who give students “the opportunity to create and carry out experiments.”
Students also mentioned that UT is “very diverse in that people from all different cultures make up the community,” and as such, students are introduced to a large variety of “beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities and ideologies.”
In a “Survey Says” sidebar in the book's profile on UT, The Princeton Review lists topics that UT students the company surveyed were in most agreement with in their answers. The list includes: “Students love Tampa, FL,” “Easy to get around campus,” and “Recreation facilities are great.”
“UT’s continued inclusion in this well-respected guide is a testament to the expertise and commitment of our faculty and staff to provide an outstanding educational experience for students,” said UT President Ronald L. Vaughn.
In Princeton Review’s “2024 Best Colleges: Region by Region” web feature, UT is recognized as one of the top colleges in the South for being “academically outstanding” and well worth consideration in students’ college search.
