Anderson University has moved up one spot to 44th from 45th among comprehensive colleges and universities in the South, according to the U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” edition for 2007.
The higher ranking comes on the heels of Anderson’s first-ever inclusion in the “top tier” (top 50 schools) in 2006.
“We are delighted to see that the quality of the programs and emphasis on high-quality teaching at Anderson have once again been recognized,” said Evans Whitaker, Anderson president. “As we said last year, achieving and maintaining a top-tier ranking is a stated goal in our strategic plan ‘Vision 2014,’ and we will strive to improve on this ranking each year. Our entire campus is focused on achieving our vision of being recognized as a premier teaching university.”
The university was named to the top tier of comprehensive colleges in the South by U.S. News & World Report for 2007, and was selected as one of America’s 136 Best Colleges by “The Princeton Review.”
