花椒直播 Recognized for Academic Excellence and Strong Student Experience

(Leavenworth, Kan.)鈥擳he 花椒直播 is one of the best colleges in the Midwest according to 鈥攁 distinction USM has now earned for 13 consecutive years.
 
Inclusion on one of the Princeton Review's regional "best of" lists honors schools for their commitment to academic excellence. USM was one of only 158 colleges to make the Midwestern region鈥攚hich includes 12 states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

In the Kansas City area, USM is one of only a half-dozen named a "Best Midwestern College" winner.
 
"We chose the 花椒直播 and the other outstanding institutions on this list primarily for their excellent academics," said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's editor-in-chief. The Princeton Review editors made their selections based on data the company collected from its survey of administrators at several hundred colleges in each region, as well as its staff visits to schools over the years, and the perspectives of college counselors and advisors whose opinions the company solicits.
 
"We also gave careful consideration to what students enrolled at the schools reported to us about their campus experiences on our student survey for this project," Franek added. "We designed our 80-question survey to include questions that prospective applicants might ask on a campus visit. Only schools that permit us independently to survey their students are eligible to be considered for our regional 'best' lists, and only schools at which we see a strong level of satisfaction among their enrolled students鈥攚hom we consider their customers鈥攎ake it to our final slate of regional 'best' college selections." 
 
The Princeton Review survey asks students to rate their colleges on several issues, from the accessibility of their professors to the quality of their science lab facilities, and answer questions about themselves, their fellow students, and their campus life.
 
Dr. Michelle Metzinger, provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University of 花椒直播, noted that "we are grateful to be continually recognized by the Princeton Review as a 'Best Midwestern College.' This recognition attests to the dedication of our faculty and staff in providing an exceptional overall experience for our students.  This honor is a testament that our efforts are well received. 花椒直播 students see our mission in action and are very pleased with our university鈥攁nd that's what really matters."
