Princeton Review "Best in the Midwest 2020" includes UJ

University of Jamestown is one of the 159 best colleges in the Midwest according to The Princeton Review. The education services company lists University of Jamestown in the Best in the Midwest section of its "2020 Best Colleges: Region by Region" website feature that posted on August 6 at https://www.princetonreview.com/bestMWcolleges.

"We chose University of Jamestown and the other outstanding institutions on this list primarily for their academics," said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's Editor-in-Chief. He noted that the company considered data from its survey of administrators at several hundred colleges in each region, information from staff visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of college counselors and advisors whose perspectives the company solicits. "We also consider what students enrolled at the schools reported to us on our student survey about their campus experiences," Franek added.

UJ President, Dr. Polly Peterson said, “We are pleased to once again be recognized by the Princeton Review as a Best Regional college in the Midwest. Our university has a strong reputation for providing a quality education by blending the liberal arts with professional preparation in an environment that promotes student engagement and a commitment to the Christian faith. It is an honor to be recognized nationally for the work that we do.”
