USF St. Petersburg is a public residential research university located on the water in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. It offers more than 40 graduate and undergraduate programs across arts and sciences, business, and education, and emphasizes hands-on, outside-the-classroom learning, internships, and community engagement. The campus is characterized by a close-knit learning community, a low faculty-to-student ratio, and affordable tuition, with a focus on sustainability and a strong sense of place. As Pinellas County's only public residential research university, it serves students seeking a campus experience in a coastal city and aims to prepare them to contribute to the local area and beyond. The university centers its offerings on experiential learning and community-focused opportunities within higher education. A recent development involves a collaboration with the Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation to present Music and Mind at the USF Sarasota-Manatee campus, reflecting ongoing partnerships across USF system campuses.
