Princeton Review names UWG among best colleges in Southeast CARROLLTON, Ga. – The University of West Georgia was named one of the “Best colleges in the Southeast” in The Princeton Review’s “2014 Best Colleges: Region by Region.” University of West Georgia joins 138 other top institutions on the list including Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Mercer University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Georgia and Vanderbilt University. "We are pleased to see the dedicated work of our faculty and staff along with the success of our students recognized by Princeton Review,” said Dr. Kyle Marrero, president of UWG. “This is a validation of the quality of our academic programs and our commitment to being a world-class institution." T he P r i nceton Rev iew endorsed only 643 colleges and universities in the entire nation for the 2014 review; approximately 25 percent of all fouryear institutions. In addition to Georgia, The Princeton Review includes the following states in the Southeast region: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisia na , M ississippi , Nor t h Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The Princeton Review is an education services company widely known for its test preparatory programs and college and graduate school guides. T he selection process included student interviews from most of the nation’s 2,500 institutions including questions regarding several aspects of academic and campus life. The best institutions were chosen for their excellent academic programs and outstanding student experiences. Some were also praised for being f ina ncia lly accessible to a diverse range of students. “We’re pleased to recommend these colleges to users of our site as the best schools to earn their undergraduate degrees,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s senior vice
president and publisher. “We chose these as our ‘regional best’ colleges mainly for their excellent academic programs. From several hundred schools in each region, we winnowed our list based on institutional data we collected directly from the schools, our visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of our staff, plus college counselors and advisors whose recommendations we invite. We also take into account what students at the schools reported to us. Only schools that permit us to independently survey their students are eligible to be considered for our regional ‘best’ lists.” In the study, The Princeton
Review found that students love UWG’s top-notch nursing, business and education programs. T he Adva nced Academy also received a nod for setting dual-enrolled high school students on the path to success. According to The Princeton Review, professors “really care how their students do in class” at UWG, according to an anonymous student. The students in the study mentioned appreciation for easy access to tutors and computer labs, as well as informative guest speakers.
