Faculty Distinction

It is the official policy of Florida State University to recruit the most talented faculty from leading centers of learning throughout the world. The University faculty has consistently included Nobel laureates, members of National and Foreign Academies, Pulitzer Prize winners, Guggenheim Fellows, and Fulbright Scholars. Many of its members have received national and international recognition, and the University enjoys national ranking in a number of disciplines. The Provost rewards faculty members who receive awards recognized by the National Research Council as “Highly Prestigious” and “Prestigious” with permanent salary increases. The diversity and quality of the educational backgrounds of the faculty are reflected in the institutions that have granted their graduate degrees.
