US News & World Report Ranks Bradley 6th in the Midwest



For the eleventh consecutive year Bradley University is ranked among the top universities in the Midwest in U.S. News & World Report’s annual publication America’s Best Colleges.

Bradley placed sixth in the rankings again this year and once again is included in the list of Great Schools at Great Prices. The University placed fifth in that listing of universities that offer high quality programs at a more affordable cost.

The U.S. News rankings are based on a number of factors including faculty resources, student selectivity, retention rate, class size, financial resources and alumni giving. Bradley boasts an 88 percent freshman retention rate, half of the university’s classes have fewer than 20 students, and more than 82 percent of the faculty are full time.

Princeton Review names Bradley one of “The Best 371 Colleges”



Bradley University is one of the nation’s best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review which highlighted Bradley’s friendly students, athletic facilities and Greek community in its 2010 edition of “The Best 371 Colleges” published this fall.


Only 15% of America’s 2,500 four-year colleges are included in the Guide. Schools are selected based on institutional data collected, feedback from students, and visits to schools as well as the opinions of independent college counselors, students and parents.


The profiles in “The Best 371 Colleges” rate schools in eight categories, based largely on school-reported data collected during the 2008-09 academic year. Those categories include admissions selectivity, quality of life, financial aid and a green rating based on criteria concerning environmental policies and practices. The book’s rankings are available online at www.PrincetonReview.com.
