Larry Hostetter. “This recognition confirms the hard work of our faculty and staff in their efforts to provide a high quality higher education experience for our students.”

The U.S. News Report groups colleges and universities into 10 different ranking categories based on their academic missions, then uses 15 indicators of academic quality to determine each school’s overall score, then overall ranking.
