Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The academics for most majors are comprehensive and taught by passionate professors. There is always a catch though. Most will find that the academics can be overwhelming, as the required amount of credits per semester is an average of 15 credit hours. Also, there is a guarantee almost that a student will have a difficult time with one of the professors. This isn’t a normal type of difficulty; it is as if the student has an absolute certainty of failing. In this case, the best course to take is to drop the class immediately or take that class elsewhere, if the credits are transferable. When taking a class, be sure to pass the first test at the very least. Otherwise, drop the class and try again some other opportune time. But beyond the negatives, there are the positives. The positive notes of Stetson’s academics are the professors and small class sizes. The ability to receive help is easy in almost any subject and readily available at designated office hours. Stetson also provides tutoring rooms in various subjects that are difficult. Overall, Stetson has impressive core professors but could use some much-needed improvements in a few departments. There are small classes, which may become a hindrance if personality conflicts arise.

The Professors Help With Relating the Topics to Real World Situations.

The professors at the school try exceptionally hard to make sure that the students get a grasp on the material being taught in class and also make sure that they can relate it to real world situations so that students get a better grasp at how to solve different problems in different situations.

A White University--Not Open to Diversity

This university boasts alot of pluses--small classes, personal attention etc, but it is demographically very white, both in faculty and student body. There are many racially motivated events on campus. They have no South asia, African studies or latin studies programs. They do not support diversity in their currriculum either. Avoid it. A highly selective, deeply racially divided community. Terrible experience. Would not come back.

you get what you pay for: a quality education.

The academics at Stetson are far better than at any school in the region. The classes are caped at under 20 students per professor. This enables the professors to know all their students and form a bond with their students that is lacking at other universities.
