Mission & Vision

Mission

The University of South Florida St. Petersburg offers distinctive graduate and  undergraduate programs in the arts and sciences, business, and education within a closeknit, student-centered learning community that welcomes individuals from the region,  state, nation and world. We conduct wide-ranging, collaborative research to meet  society’s needs and engage in service projects and partnerships to enhance the university  and community’s social, economic and intellectual life. As an integral and  complementary part of a multi-institutional system, USF St. Petersburg retains a separate  identity and mission while contributing to and benefiting from the associations,  cooperation, and shared resources of a premier national research university.

Vision

The University of South Florida St. Petersburg will be a premier masters degree level  urban university recognized for its vibrant community of scholars who engage and  improve its community and the world.
