Print | Eastern University is ranked in the Top Tier of North Regional Universities by U.S. News & World Report magazine for 2011
The exclusive rankings, which include more than 1,400 schools nationwide, are available at http://www.usnews.com/colleges.
Dr. David Black, President of Eastern University said, “We are very pleased with this recognition that Eastern is a university of exceptional quality. The reputation of our faculty scholar-activists has long been high among academics who value the integration of faith, reason and justice. That has also been true among students and families whose worldview is framed by those three elements. We are grateful for this recent wider acknowledgement of Eastern’s value and look forward to ‘explaining’ our distinctives to a larger number of prospective students in the future.”
Over the past 26 years, the U.S. News college rankings, which groups schools based on categories created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, has grown to be the most comprehensive research tool for students and parents considering higher education opportunities. It provides students the opportunity to discover colleges they may not have known about, and a tool to compare the relative value of the education based on some widely accepted criteria of excellence. It is one tool in the college search process for students. If their search includes Christian Colleges and Christian Universities in the Philadelphia area, Eastern’s faculty and staff are ready to answer questions and accept applications.
