Located in DeLand Florida, Stetson is Florida's first private University, and is one of the top institutions in the south, routinely landing in the top five of U.S. News and World Report's College Rankings.

The DeLand campus, just 25 miles from Daytona Beach and 35 miles from Orlando, is home to the College of Arts & Sciences, School of Business Administration, and School of Music. The College of Law is located in St. Petersburg/Gulfport, the Tampa Law Center is in downtown Tampa and the Stetson University Center at Celebration is in the Orlando area.

Stetson University was founded in 1883. Our 175-acre DeLand campus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and our turn-of-the-century buildings have been modernized and updated without losing their charm.

Recent additions to the DeLand campus are the Sage Hall Science Center addition to the existing science facility; Mary B. McMahan Hall, an addition to the School of Music's Presser Hall; the Homer and Dolly Hand Art Center; the Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Environmental Learning Center; a softball training facility at Patricia Wilson Field; and renovation of five fraternity houses. Also recent are six residential halls, five of which feature apartment-style living.
