SUNY Potsdam once again among best regional universities in Northern U.S. according to U.S. News

Posted

POTSDAM –The annual U.S. News and World Report college and university ranking places SUNY Potsdam once again among the best regional universities in the Northern United States.

SUNY Potsdam is ranked in the top tier of public and private regional universities in the 2012 edition of "America's Best Colleges."

This is the thirteenth consecutive year that SUNY Potsdam has been recognized as one of the high-quality institutions included in the Northern Regional Universities category.

"Rankings like the U.S. News guide will never reflect the full depth of the SUNY Potsdam story, as told best by visiting campus or talking with one of our accomplished alumni. Even so, it is always rewarding for the college's academic rigor and unique programming to be recognized in a national publication," SUNY Potsdam President Dr. John F. Schwaller said.

U.S. News & World Report bases the rankings on assessment by peer institutions, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.

The news organization classifies regional universities as public and private colleges that provide a full range of undergraduate majors and master's programs, but offer few, if any, doctoral programs. The 626 regional universities that U.S. News examined for this year's guide were ranked against their peer group in four geographic regions -- the North, South, Midwest and West, and rated as either top or second tier.

The U.S. News & World Report rankings will be published in the September issue of the magazine, available this week.
