Stetson University


Stetson University is located at North Woodland Boulevard in DeLand, Florida and is approximately 45 minutes from Orlando. The DeLand campus is home to the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration and School of Music. The university was founded in 1883 and the 175-acre campus at DeLand is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Information sessions and campus tours are offered throughout the year Monday to Friday. Information sessions take place at 9.15 am and 1.15pm with the campus tours following immediately after each session. DeLand Hall was the first building of what was to become Stetson University and is the oldest in Florida in continuous use for higher education.

DeLand Hall now houses administrative offices on campus and is a wood-frame Second Empire style building with a mansard roof and a three story bell tower. This and other turn of the century building on campus have been restored and modernized but still retain their character. Adjacent to the university is the University Inn of DeLand, where visitors to the area can stay overnight. Both the inn and the university are within walking distance of shops, restaurants, museums and galleries in downtown DeLand.
