Among some 5,000 public and private two- and four-year institutions, DSC ranked 52nd nationally in awarding the two-year associate degree. In addition, the college ranked 38th in the awarding of the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), 26th in liberal arts and science degree awards, and 90th in the awarding of one-year college and vocational credit certificates.
“These rankings are a reflection of the quality of our faculty and support staff, who serve our students with dedication, commitment and a focus on excellence,” said DSC President Tom LoBasso. “The ultimate measure of our institutional effectiveness rests in student success and outcomes. Daytona State is on a path of continuous improvement and these rankings affirm our efforts.”
The rankings are based on an analysis of data collected by the National Center for Education Statistics for the 2013-2014 academic year, when the college awarded 2,342 associate degrees in all disciplines, including 1,640 associate of arts university transfer degrees, 226 ADNs and 982 one-year certificates.
For years, DSC has consistently ranked in Community College Week’s Top 100 in a variety of categories. The latest listing was released in the publication’s Sept. 13 issue.
