   How it compares

   With 2,515 universities in the United States, Indian River State College sits in a very large higher-education market, but it is a smaller public college rather than a large research university. Its main differentiator is its mix of associate, bachelor's, and vocational certificate study within the Florida College System, which makes it more suitable for students who want flexible, regional options than for those looking for a research-heavy environment.
