Transylvania University continues to climb in the U.S. News & World Report\u2019s Best Colleges rankings of the nation’s top liberal arts schools, which were released today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university placed 72nd in the country \u2014 rising 15 spots in the last two years to its best-ever U.S. News ranking in the national liberal arts colleges category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania also placed\n50th in the new Top Performers on Social Mobility rating, which takes into\nconsideration how well schools graduate students receiving Pell Grants \u2014 the\nmajority of these funds are awarded to families with a total income below\n$20,000. Additionally this year, the university ranks among the Best Value\nSchools, which comes on the heels of similar honors from The Wall Street\nJournal and Kiplinger\u2019s that highlight how Transylvania provides a quality\neducation at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its rankings, U.S. News\nconsiders factors like close interaction with faculty, institutional spending\non a variety of services and programs, student excellence, timely degree\ncompletion and alumni giving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This year’s U.S. News\nranking is a testament to the dedication of the Transylvania community to\ncontinuously improve upon our tradition of excellence,” Interim President\nJohn N. Williams said. “Far from resting on our laurels, we look forward\nto what the future will bring through innovative programs such as the Digital Liberal\nArts initiative<\/a>, ensuring our students are well prepared for the\nopportunities and challenges of the 21st century.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National rankings such as today\u2019s<\/a>\nspotlight top-notch schools like Transylvania to help parents and students make\na momentous decision. “Deciding where to go to school is tough,”\naccording to the publication. “But the \u2026 U.S. News’ Best Colleges can at\nleast make finding the right fit more manageable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. News ranking highlights Transylvania’s success at retaining and graduating students on time, which of course saves families money. More than 90% of graduates complete their degree in four years or less. In fact, the university guarantees graduation<\/a> within four years as long students meet certain criteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another heavily weighted\nfactor in these ratings is faculty resources; this includes small class sizes \u2014\nwhich means greater student-faculty interaction \u2014 and the proportion of faculty\nwho are full time and have the highest degree in their field. At Transylvania,\n98% of tenured or tenure-track faculty have a Ph.D. or the top degree in their\narea of expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Research shows the\ngreater access students have to quality instructors, the more engaged they will\nbe in class and the more they will learn and likely graduate,” according\nto U.S. News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new rankings follow recent announcements\nfrom a number of college reference organizations. In the latest college rankings\nfrom the Washington Monthly magazine<\/a>, Transylvania University is\nhighlighted as one of the top 10 liberal arts colleges in the nation for\npromoting public service. The Princeton Review recently\nincluded<\/a> Transylvania among the top 13% of the nation\u2019s four-year\ncolleges. Transylvania is also featured as one of the nation\u2019s best colleges in\n2019 by Forbes, Money Magazine and College Consensus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
