Emmanuel College Makes U.S. News & World Report Best List
For the second consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report has named Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs a tier one among private colleges.
It also ranks the Christian College as a Best Regional College in the South.
Emmanuel College President Michael Stewart announced Wednesday that this year the college moved up 12 ranks to 57th place in the 2014 rankings.
The rankings are considered to be the most in-depth and complete rankings in higher education and are based on evaluations of the top accredited four-year schools in the country.
Ranking is determined almost entirely on the undergraduate experience in a broad range of programs in the liberal arts fields.
Stewart called the higher ranking this year by U.S. News and World Report encouraging and said the school remains focused on its mission as a Christ-centered college to integrate faith, learning and living for effective careers, scholarship and service.
“We are honored and continue to be grateful for the commitment and dedication of all our employees and board members who have made this possible. We also appreciate our talented students, who do well here and go on to successful, meaningful careers after graduation,” Stewart said.
For the second year in row, enrollment at Emmanuel has stayed about 800 students.
