FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY A National Leader in Student Success BEST IN FLORIDA
GLOBAL REACH
Florida State University’s four-year graduation rate of 72 percent places FSU among the Top 10 public universities in the country and is the best in the state of Florida.
FSU’s commitment to increasing the number of students studying abroad was honored with a 2019 Seal of Excellence from the Institute of International Education. The award specifically recognized FSU’s extraordinary global-engagement network.
FSU FRESHMEN FLOURISH
WORLD-CLASS RESEARCH
Florida State’s freshman retention rate is 93 percent, meaning more freshmen than ever are returning for their second year. That places FSU among the Top 20 public universities in the nation for freshman retention!
FSU researchers received a record level of funding from federal, state and private sources in the 2019 fiscal year, bringing $233.6 million to the university to support investigations into areas such as health sciences, high energy physics and marine biology.
THE WORD IS OUT
AN OUTSTANDING VALUE
Prospective students are taking notice of FSU’s preeminence. We received a record-breaking 60,555 first-time freshman applications for the 2019 summer and fall semesters.
Florida State is ranked No. 9 in the nation among public universities that offer high-quality education at an affordable price, according to Kiplinger’s annual list of Best Values in Public Colleges.

Max Weinberg’s Jukebox “Max Weinberg’s Jukebox was one of the most interactive, energetic performances that we’ve ever had!” — Marc Steczyk, Director of the Lincoln Amphitheater Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Max Weinberg, most widely known for his association with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, brings power, dynamism, versatility, and chops to all of his musical aggregations. Max Weinberg’s Jukebox comes armed with an unlimited repertoire of classic songs, engaging the audience in a truly interactive concert experience. For more than 45 years, Max Weinberg has held the drum chair behind Bruce Springsteen & The E Street band, playing before millions around the world. While anchoring the house band for Late Night with Conan O’Brien for 17 years, Max enjoyed expanding his role as band leader and resident music historian. In Max Weinberg’s Jukebox, Max invites his fans to create the set list. Performing songs from the glory days of rock and roll—you get to choose from a menu of over 200 songs (located on page 21)—everything from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band’s biggest hits.
