In 1954, the College of Law moved from Stetson University’s historic campus in DeLand to a 1924 Mediterranean Revival-style landmark in Gulfport.

Stetson’s residential law school campus, located in the beachfront community of Gulfport, is contiguous with the city of St. Petersburg.

Stetson’s Tampa Law Center, housing evening classes for the law school’s part-time J.D. program, is near downtown Tampa. Both Tampa Bay-area campuses are accessible to area businesses and legal communities where students and alumni work, and are close to the incredible beaches and thriving downtowns.
