KENTUCKY WESLEYAN COLLEGE NAMED A BEST IN THE SOUTHEAST” COLLEGE BY THE PRINCETON REVIEW

Says Robert Franek, Princeton Review's Senior VP / Publisher, "We're pleased to recommend Kentucky Wesleyan College to users of our site as one of the best schools to earn their undergrad degree.  We chose it and the other terrific institutions we name as '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 about their campus experiences at them on our 80-question student survey for this project.   Only schools that permit us to independently survey their students are eligible to be considered for our regional 'best' lists."

Dr. Craig Turner, president of the college, said of the designation, “Kentucky Wesleyan is honored by the prestigious Princeton Review designation. Our inclusion over a number of years reflects our strong commitment the success of every student through academic excellence.”

The 134 colleges The Princeton Review chose for its "Best in the Southeast" designations are located in twelve states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The Princeton Review also designated 220 colleges in the Northeast, 153 in the Midwest, and 121 in the West as best in their locales on the company’s "2012 Best Colleges: Region by Region" lists.  Collectively, the 629 colleges named "regional best(s)" constitute about 25% of the nation's 2,500 four-year colleges.
