MOUNT VERNON -- Cornell College will be featured in "Colleges of Distinction," a new college guide profiling some of America’s best bets in higher education. Based on the opinions of guidance counselors, educators and admissions professionals, "Colleges of Distinction" honors colleges that excel in key areas of educational quality.
In order to qualify for inclusion, Cornell was evaluated for its performance in the “four distinctions”: engaged students, great teaching, vibrant communities and successful outcomes.
Cornell will be extensively profiled with other colleges in the forthcoming book, "Colleges of Distinction," which will be published this year. The colleges are also featured on the
Web.
College seekers can visit the site to learn more about the colleges, read tips from high school guidance counselors and essays from college students, presidents and other members of different campus communities.
The colleges and universities listed in the guide include schools from every area of the country. Their average student-faculty ratio is 13:1, and most have an average class size of around 20. The schools vary in size from universities of 7,000 to small liberal arts colleges of 1,000 or fewer students.
