Princeton Review Selects Alma as 'Best in the Midwest'
Alma College is one of the best colleges and universities in the Midwest, according to The Princeton Review.
The New York City-based education services company selected Alma
College as one of 159 institutions it recommends as “Best in the
Midwest” for 2009.
The Princeton Review divided the country into four regions and
identified 630 colleges as academically excellent institutions of
higher learning. Schools are rated on academic rigor, admissions
selectivity, quality of campus life, and financial aid.
Ratings are calculated from student survey results and institutional
data. The survey asks students 80 questions about their schools’
academics, administration, campus life, student body and themselves.
The 12-state Midwest region comprises Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South
Dakota and Wisconsin.
“This designation affirms the quality of Alma’s academic programs and
the commitment by our faculty and staff to personal attention, active
learning, service and leadership,” said Mike Silverthorn, director of
marketing and public relations at Alma College.
