Brevard College Among Nation’s Top Liberal Arts Schools

Brevard College is one of the nation’s best liberal arts colleges, according to the 2014 issue of U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” guide.

The rankings, released online today, include Brevard College among the guide’s “Best National Liberal Arts College”.
“Accolades and rankings like these are always gratifying,” said Brevard College President David Joyce. “We still feel that the best way to assess whether the benefits of any college is for families to do their own research. We invite prospective students to come explore our campus, meet with our admissions staff and faculty and learn more about an experiential education at Brevard College.”
This year, U.S. News & World Report collected data on more than 1,800 colleges overall, ranking them on up to 16 factors, including high school counselor ratings, financial resources, alumni giving, assessment by administrators at peer institutions, faculty resources, student selectivity, and the retention of students.
