The University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee is a small, personalized institution that connects students with faculty at the top of their disciplines and hundreds of internship and research opportunities. USFSM is invested in student success with a learning environment that spans far beyond the classroom. When world-class faculty instruction is paired with hands-on experience, student skills develop quickly, and abstract concepts become vivid and tangible. We believe in providing our students with many opportunities to gain hands-on experience, whether through internships, teaching labs or personalized faculty mentorship.

Investing in our students’ success is investing in the future leaders and innovators of our community. An important role of public higher education is to train critical thinkers. Those who become knowledgeable, involved citizens contribute meaningfully to the region’s economic and social success. We believe inviting our community partners to join us in the educational process benefits our students, faculty and staff. Whether launching new courses to meet local business needs or partnering with other area colleges to provide affordable access to quality higher education, USFSM is committed to serving the community.
