Purchase College Ranked as One of Top 381 Colleges

From Purchase College:

PURCHASE, NY - Purchase College, State University of New York (SUNY), is listed as one of the “Top 381 Colleges” in the nation by The Princeton Review in the 2017 edition of their college guide.

The Princeton Review praises Purchase for its excellent conservatories and liberal arts and science programs, and recognizes faculty who “actively work in the field they teach” and “bring the material life and take learning outside the classroom.” In the Purchase College profile, students point out a “sense of unity and acceptance” on campus, and an “artsy, unique, passionate, intelligent,” student body.

“We’re proud that once again Purchase has been nationally recognized for its commitment to academic excellence,” said Thomas J. Schwarz, president of Purchase College. “We remain dedicated to providing the highest quality education in the liberal arts, sciences, and performing and visual arts. We are honored to offer an affordable and accessible experience, while nurturing the creative process and open-minded engagement that are the hallmarks of a Purchase education.”

“The annual Princeton Review rankings of the ‘best colleges’ in the country are a point of pride for SUNY as well as each of the colleges and universities recognized for the outstanding work they do on behalf of our students, faculty, and staff,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “The rankings are also a signal to our students that SUNY is dedicated to providing them with a highly valuable degree, which will serve them well long after graduation. Congratulations to Purchase College on this much-deserved recognition.”

“Purchase College’s outstanding academics are the chief reason we chose it for this book and we strongly recommend it to applicants," says Robert Franek, Princeton Review's Senior VP-Publisher and author of The Best 381 Colleges.

In addition to the Princeton Review recognition, Purchase College has been included on other significant college ranking lists. U.S. News and World Report listed Purchase as one of the “Top 10 Public Liberal Arts Colleges,” and a “Tier 1 National Liberal Arts College,” while Kiplinger’s Personal Finance named Purchase College to its 2016 list of “Best Colleges Values.”
