Forbes Names Columbia Among America's Best Colleges

/News Release Agency - CollegePressReleases.com/ It is no secret to our Columbia College Chicago community that we offer the best student experience in higher education. Now we have the added endorsement of being
named to the 2010 edition of “America's Best Colleges” in the current Forbes magazine.

The annual list of undergraduate institutions is ranked on the quality of the education they provide, the experiences of the students, and how much they achieve.

According to the Forbes site: “Schools in this ranking count among the best in the country. We review just 9% of the 6,600 accredited postsecondary institutions in the U.S., so appearing on our list at all is an indication that a school meets a high standard.”

The site notes that “other college rankings are based in large part on school reputation as evaluated by college administrators,” while this report focuses on “factors that directly concern incoming students.”

Columbia has been trackingand improvingstudent satisfaction for years. A Student Satisfaction Inventory, developed by Noel-Levitz, Inc. and administered to Columbia College Chicago students every other year beginning in 1995, has shown immense improvements in student satisfaction in recent years, as well as significantly higher satisfaction ratings than many of our peer institutions. In terms of student satisfaction, Columbia outperforms peer institutions and scores higher than national averages in many areas, including Instructional Effectiveness, Campus Climate, Campus Support Services, and Responsiveness to Diverse Populations.
