Every year, our admission decisions become harder because more and more top high school students designate the College as their number one choice. With such talented, creative and engaged students, it's no surprise that U.S. News & World Report ranked us No. 4 among southern master's-level public universities and named us an "Up and Coming School to Watch" in 2009.
