","The University of South Florida System is a young and agile system that includes three institutions, each separately accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools: USF; USF St. Petersburg; and USF Sarasota-Manatee. Serving more than 48,000 students, the USF System has an annual budget of $1.6 billion and is ranked 43rd in the nation for research expenditures among all universities, public or private. USF, the main doctoral research institution in Tampa is home to USF Health, which includes the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Public Health, and Pharmacy; and to the College of Marine Science that is physically located in St. Petersburg. The university is one of only four public universities in Florida classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in the top tier of research universities, a distinction attained by only 2.3 percent of all universities. With more than 180 degree programs at the undergraduate, graduate, specialty and doctoral levels, including the doctor of medicine, USF offers a dynamic learning environment that inspires innovation and creativity and is focused on student success. USF is a top producer of Fulbright U.S. Scholarship recipients, boasts the highest research and patent productivity among all Florida public universities, and is one of only 15 universities in the nations selected as a Tillman Partnership University of the Pat Tillman Foundation.USF St. Petersburg prides itself on offering an intimate, waterfront campus environment with all the resources and reputation shared as part of the USF System. With smaller classes and an emphasis on community engagement, it offers nearly 40 degree programs at the bachelor's and master's levels, including a celebrated journalism and media studies program, one of the nation's most outstanding emerging entrepreneurship programs, and a booming biology program. St. Petersburg's strong and growing community partnerships provide rich opportunities for civic engagement.USF Sarasota-Manatee similarly offers a smaller, personalized learning setting with highly qualified faculty and a diverse student body from all ages and walks of life. Its scenic campus is an important piece of Sarasota's Cultural Corridor; Its close proximity and relationships with nearby arts and educational institutions - including the Ringling Museum, Ringling College of Art and Design, historic Crosley Mansion, New College of Florida, and State College of Florida - open opportunities and partnerships for students and faculty researchers. USFSM is particularly known for its hospitality program, which prepares students for leadership positions in hotel, restaurant and tourism industries. The USF System was formed to bring its three institutions together, so that collectively and collaboratively they could serve the region and beyond in optimal ways, resulting in a stronger presence and a distinctiveness that provides an unstoppable competitive differentiation. In addition to being a strong and unified voice for higher education, the USF System seeks to find and capitalize on synergies and economies of scale among its institutions that are of benefit to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and communities. The USF System operates within the USF Board of Trustees governance structure. The USF BOT appoints the USF System President and Chief Executive Officer, who in turn appoints the Regional Chancellors of the member institutions. The President and other System Officers are advised by three USF System Advisory Councils and the USF System Faculty Council, the principal representative faculty governance body for the System.","Public, Coed",1956,N/A,Semester,Urban,"$367.7 million","4202 E.

The Manoa campus is culturally rich and complex, providing a perfect social setting for frequent interactions with persons fromcultures other than ones own. At Manoa we incorporate and celebrate intercultural experiences and understanding into our social and educational environments in a comprehensive fashion. Manoa is also a place where historic political, economic and social conflicts between Native Hawaiian people, settlers and working immigrants have contributed to the diverse perspectives, beliefs, values and even conceptual frameworks of our islands people. Growing out of the core Hawaiian value of aloha, an essential component of the Manoa Experience, are insights that both bond us and simultaneously express the variations that collectively enrich us.A focus on global awareness and local responsibility. These values are consistent with a uniquely Hawaiian place of learning. Hawaii is a place where the strength of identity is important to Native Hawaiian peoplestruggling to maintain traditional connections while establishing new global relationships. Their struggle for cultural distinction forms a significant part of the story of human history and change. Hawaii is also a placewhere the peoples from Asia, Europe, and the Pacific regions gathered, formed communities, and built lives together. The pluri-cultural children of Hawaii are global citizens, a true pan-ethnic population. Hence, we attempt to infuse our pedagogical, social, and cultural environments with a global perspective and with questions and issues of global significance. Moreover, engaging and acting upon local questions and issues during theireducational experience at Manoa engenders in students a sense of responsibility toward future generations.A focus on sustainability and renewability. These values are also a reflection of our unique Hawaiian cultural history, as voiced in the Hawaiian core value of malama i ka aina, malama i ke kai (caring for the land and sea that sustain us). The Hawaiian culture teaches us to see Manoa as part of an ahupuaa extending from mountaintop to ocean, emphasizing an ecosystem understanding of our home. Hawaiis unique geographical status as the most isolated, populated land mass on the planet makes it incumbent upon us to develop research, technologies, economy, and a way of life based on sustainability and renewability, as Polynesians did over thousands of years of voyaging, discovery and settlement. Fostering a pedagogical, social, and cultural environment that reflects these values and the knowledge developed by Native Hawaiians over the millennia is central to our efforts. Cultivating, practicing, and communicating these values are our Universitys gifts and obligation to the rest of the world.","Public, Coed",1907,N/A,Semester,Urban,"$37.3 million","2500 Campus Road, Honolulu, HI 96822","(808) 956-8111",38,100.0

Supporting the Universitys role as a teaching institution and recognizing that scholarship is essential to establishing and maintaining excellence of instruction, Lander faculty engage in scholarly and creative activities appropriate to their teaching fields.
