Alma College Receives 'Best in the Midwest' designation

Alma College has received The Princeton Review’s “Best in the Midwest” designation for 2007.

Alma is one of 163 schools in the 12-state Midwest region — and one of 14 schools in Michigan — to meet the designation criteria.

The Princeton Review divides the country into four regions and identifies 644 colleges as academically excellent institutions of higher learning. Schools are rated on admissions selectivity, fire safety, quality of campus life, academic rigor and financial aid. Ratings are calculated from student survey results and institutional data.

“This designation is truly a stamp of approval by an external organization of the quality of Alma’s academic programs and the College’s commitment to personal attention, active learning, service and leadership,” said Mike Silverthorn, director of marketing and public relations at Alma College.
