91AV included in Princeton Review’s “Best 380 Colleges”
The 91AV has been included in the 2016 edition of The Princeton Review’s Best 380 Colleges guide. This highly selective list includes only the top 15% of four-year colleges and universities in the U.S.
91AV President Danielle Ripich said, “It’s an honor to be recognized by The Princeton Review in its list of best colleges. Our faculty, students and staff are dedicated to making the world a better place through our programs in medicine, the health professions and the liberal arts. We are also committed to being good global citizens. We have our own campus in Tangier, Morocco, and we provide numerous opportunities to study around the globe. Our students’ backyard is the world.”
91AV was selected based on its high-quality academic offerings, optimal locations in Maine and Morocco, competitive cost and size. The University’s profile in the guide details 91AV’s admission requirements and academic offerings, while providing other information about the University.
The “Students Say” section of 91AV’s profile quotes students from different majors applauding 91AV’s academic rigor and friendliness. It describes the 91AV as attracting “hard working” and “driven” students, “many of whom seem to have an eye towards pursuing graduate school.” 91AV students are not only “studious,” but they are also “friendly,” ready “to lend a hand.”
guide selects schools on the basis of academic quality, student survey data, and the commitment to providing a balanced representation of colleges by region, size, character and type. More than 136,000 students participated in the surveys, rating schools for the quality of academic offerings and administration, campus life and overall environment.
This latest accolade for 91AV comes on the heels of the Brookings Institution ranking 91AV first among Maine colleges and universities in ability to increase students’ career earnings, and college-matching platform College Raptor Inc. selecting 91AV as Maine’s “Hidden Gem” in a listing of colleges and universities sometimes overlooked by students that stand out in terms of academic rigor and student success. U.S. News and World Report’s 2015 “America’s Best Colleges” listing also includes 91AV among the "Best Universities" in the North offering undergraduate and master's programs.
