June 12, 2012 (Jackson) - For a second year, Belhaven University was recognized and awarded for excellence in education by CollegesofDistinction.com, an online guide that highlights the best colleges and universities for students to learn, grow and succeed.
Colleges of Distinction honors colleges based on the opinions of guidance counselors, educators, and admissions professionals. Belhaven University demonstrated excellence in four distinct areas: engaged students, great teaching, vibrant communities, and successful outcomes.
“Schools selected as Colleges of Distinction create well-rounded graduates and are among the very best in the country,” reported Tyson Schritter, the Executive Editor of Colleges of Distinction. “While each school is one of a kind, they all share a common theme: they are all a great place to get an education.”
The goal of Colleges of Distinction is to provide students, counselors, and parents with information about colleges and universities that excel in these four areas and to also take a fresh look at colleges and universities appealing to students’ unique and varied interests.
Featured schools take a holistic approach to admissions, consistently excel in providing undergraduate education, and have a truly national reputation.
