The College of Idaho has once again ranked highly among all liberal arts schools across the country in 2019, according to Washington Monthly.
The College checked in at no. 156 overall, which ranks in the top 25 percent of all liberal arts colleges nation-wide and among the top six schools in the Pacific Northwest.
“We rank liberal arts colleges—four-year institutions that award almost exclusively bachelor’s degrees and that focus on arts and sciences rather than professional programs—based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research, and promoting public service,” the publication said on its website about the rankings.
Washington & Lee University in Virginia came in atop the Washington Monthly rankings. A complete list of ranked institutions can be found here.
Add Washington Monthly to a growing list of publications and websites to recognize the excellence of The College of Idaho:
- “Best in the West” acknowledgement in regional breakdown (Princeton Review)
- Best College/University value in Idaho (Kiplinger)
- Top college/university in Idaho, top-100 liberal arts college in the United States (College Consensus)
- Top-300 college/university (Fiske’s Guide to Colleges)
- Idaho’s top college/university for job placement (Zippia)
These honors come on the heels of being recognized by the prestigious Wall Street Journal as the top college/university in Idaho last fall.
