Rankings Applying Cost & Aid Academics Student Life Services Safety Indicators Photos Map More ▾ ","Alice Lloyd journeyed from Boston to Kentucky in 1915, seeking a milder climate in which to recover from her failing health. In the Appalachian Mountains, she found that education became her lifes work. She truly believed that these hills and hollows held the leaders of tomorrow. Thus, Alice Lloyd College (ALC) was born.From its inception, Alice Lloyd College has placed a supreme value on educating the whole person. The name of the community, Pippa Passes, originated from a poem by Robert Browning called ""Pippas Song"". Pippa was a poor mill child who passed through the surrounding villages singing lyrics that ultimately changed the troubled lives of the people she encountered. This great work became a symbol for one of the purposes of Alice Lloyd College: the influence of unconscious good upon the world.It was Alice Lloyd and co-founder June Buchanan who saw the spirit of learning prevail both in and out of the classroom, forming the basis of character education. The ""Christian Forum"" required students to discuss ethical and moral issues, lifes purposes and goals, and Christian standards of conduct. These values were all significant in the total educational experience. Leadership was the desired result of character building.Today, this tradition remains a central focus of Alice Lloyd College. It is reflected in the leadership of its faculty and staff; Student Work Program; Caney Convocation Series; a special leadership course required of freshman students; and high standards of conduct, dress, and attitude.Students and parents alike are reminded of the Colleges philosophy during orientation sessions. It is expected that students who have engaged in the Alice Lloyd College experience will not only be intellectually equipped to continue their pursuit of learning, but will also be prepared as responsible citizens for a life of service and leadership.The idea of working for an education at ALC is as old as the school itself. Early students provided labor in exchange for tuition, room, and board. They were earning their own way on the path of becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Today, tuition is guaranteed to qualified students residing in 108 Central Appalachian counties in parts of five states. At Alice Lloyd College, every full-time student is required to work as a part of his or her overall educational experience. So committed is the College to the concept of student leadership, that successful completion of the work assignment is a graduation requirement. Alice Lloyd College provides a comprehensive leadership development program for its students. This training contains aspects of leadership philosophy, citizenship, and cultural development, which build upon a strong traditional liberal arts education. The institution attempts to infuse leadership education initiatives into all aspects of the educational experience including formal classroom instruction; activities that enable students to experience cultures outside of Appalachia; group learning activities; involvement in service to others; and activities that place them in leadership roles. To accomplish this ideal, the Academic, Student Services, and Work Program have become intimately connected in pursuing the mission of preparing leaders to serve Appalachia through a formal leadership development program.

The University's history dates back to 1922 when Rainey T. Wells presented the case for Murray, Kentucky to be the home of one of the new state universities. With Murray State's origins stemming from a hard-earned deposit of $117,000 from more than 1,000 individuals, Wells' vision led to a new normal school that would later become Murray State University. A caring atmosphere with a strong focus on rigor and excellence creates partnerships among and between faculty, staff, students, alumni and professionals to enhance the student experience. The University's Quality Enhancement Plan - Bringing Learning to Life - is an institutional priority and is anchored in the institution's mission. Experiential learning, study abroad programs and personal attention shown by faculty, give nearly 11,000 Murray State students the opportunity to succeed. Approximately 300 Murray State students studied abroad in more than 20 countries last year. Close to 800 international students representing nearly 60 different countries are enrolled in Murray State's undergraduate and graduate programs. Murray State University is a place for developing leaders in our community, the Commonwealth, the country and the world.Murray State programs are enhanced by several research and teaching facilities, including the Ray Science Campus; Hancock Biological Research Station; Watershed Studies Institute; Hutson School of Agricultures multiple research farms and equine facilities; nationally recognized veterinary diagnostic research center; Center for Telecommunications Systems Management; Mid-America Remote Sensing Center; Ross Mathematical Studies and Career Center; Centers for Banking & Finance, Economic Education, and Financial Planning; Speech and Hearing Clinic; and written and oral communications student support centers, among other facilities.

Students receive most of the big-time offerings of any large institution, but in a small and caring atmosphere in which personal attention from faculty and staff ensure student success. Students have the opportunity to receive academic scholarships based on a percentage of tuition, rather than a fixed cost. The model provides elasticity that families can depend on. The students have the ability to become involved in a welcoming Residential College system in which leadership and social and academic success are valued in a community-based living situation.

Rankings Applying Cost & Aid Academics Student Life Services Safety Indicators Photos Map More ▾ ","As America's first research institution, Johns Hopkins University is well known for innovative advances in everything from technology to history. The university emphasizes the importance of exploration and discovery in the undergraduate experience. Learning occurs through hands-on experiences across all academic disciplines and within every subject imaginable. The lack of a core curriculum fosters academic freedom, which allows students to create their own interdisciplinary paths. They choose classes they are genuinely interested in, not just required to take, so there's a real sense of curiosity around learning that extends beyond the classroom setting. More than 60 percent of Hopkins students double major or minor, often creating unique combinations like electrical engineering and romance languages or biomedical engineering and business. This establishes a dynamic, engaging learning environment where students from various backgrounds bring different perspectives to class discussions. Collaborative learning is fundamental to the academic environment and many spaces on campus are designed to foster collaboration across disciplines. State-of-the-art facilities such as the Undergraduate Teaching Labs or JHU-MICA Film Center also give students access to the latest learning technology. Hopkins professors, another invaluable resource, are experts in their fields who make important contributions to their industries and academia at large. They're enthusiastic about teaching and often include undergraduates in their own ground-breaking research. Students get to know their professors and classmates the way they would at a small liberal arts college but have all of the opportunities of a major research institution with a global reach. As a part of this community, undergraduates not only work alongside experts who share their interests but also run with projects of their own design. In fact, the university remains a national leader of research funding and students in all programs within the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences and Whiting School of Engineering gain practical experiences through research conducted both on and off campus. Several funded programs, such as the Provost's Undergraduate Research Awards and the Woodrow Wilson Undergraduate Research Fellowship, are dedicated to supporting undergraduate research. Students also encounter real-world experiences--like implementing marketing plans for local companies and heading startup businesses on campus--through the Center for Leadership Education and classes in business, marketing and communications, accounting and financial management, and entrepreneurship and management. Those interested in pursuing law or medicine choose any major/minor combination but follow a pre-law or pre-med advising track offered through the Office of Pre-Professional Advising. Though their paths may be varied throughout their four years on the Homewood campus, one thing is true of all Hopkins alumni: Graduates of Johns Hopkins are leaders who are distinctly prepared for their futures.","Private, Coed",1876,N/A,Semester,Urban,"$3.3 billion +","3400 N.

During junior and senior year, students also take elective classes where they focus on a book or an idea, and these culminate in a major piece of writing called the senior essay. Instead of choosing a major, all students graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in the Liberal Arts.Over 70% of Johnnies attend graduate school, and the college is among the top for the percentage of students receiving PhDs in the humanities and sciences.

While MIT is a research university committed to world-class inquiry in math, science, and engineering, MIT has equally distinguished programs in architecture, the humanities, management, and the social sciences. A diverse, supportive campus environment--with an incredible range of student groups and athletic and fitness opportunities--ensures that it's not all about the work. And in MIT's intensely creative atmosphere, the arts flourish in all their forms.MIT admits some of the most talented students in the world on a need-blind basis. The Institute is committed to meeting the financial need of each admitted undergraduate student through MIT scholarships; the average need-based scholarship was $38,871 per year in 2016. As a result, the MIT community is incredibly diverse, and organically collaborative, with students coming from many different backgrounds, across the country and around the world.Students are frequently encouraged to unite MIT's engineering excellence with public service. For example, the required senior capstone design course for mechanical engineering majors centers on making the world a better place through engineering. Recent years have focused on projects using alternative forms of energy, and machines that could be used for sustainable agriculture. Beyond academic coursework, MIT's D-Lab, Poverty Action Lab, and Public Service Center all support students and professors in the research and implementation of culturally sensitive and environmentally responsible technologies and programs that alleviate poverty and improve quality of life in low-income areas locally, nationally, and worldwide.MIT's preeminence in entrepreneurship is rooted in its founding. As one of the first land-grant colleges, the Institute was designed to deliver a practical education rather than to focus on the classical education that was provided by many private universities of that era. This emphasis on practice is infused into the entrepreneurship curriculum and programming, which emphasizes learning by doing. Over the course of the 2015-2016 academic year, more than 60 entrepreneurship courses were offered.Several MIT departments, labs, and centers foster entrepreneurship and innovation at MIT including the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship, the MIT Sandbox Innovation Fund Program, and the MIT Innovation Initiative to name a few. MIT also has over 40 student clubs and initiatives involved in entrepreneurship or innovation, among them the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition, MIT Clean Energy Prize, and conferences such as Hacking Arts and Hacking Medicine.The MIT community brings its energy and creativity outside the classroom as well with 500+ student-run groups, 33 varsity sports, 18 intramural sports, 33 club sports, and more than 60 music, theater, visual arts, writing, and dance groups. It's just a short walk across the Charles River to Boston where students can enjoy the city's fabulous restaurants or take in Boston culture. Many programs around MIT allow students to get reduced-price tickets to various events, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the American Repertory Theater, and Bruins, Celtics, and Red Sox games.

Today WPI is a midsize research university centered on engineering, science, technology, and mathematics, with strong academic programs in the arts and humanities, the social sciences, and business. Its 14 academic departments offer more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, leading to the BA, BS, MS, MEng, MBA, and PhD. WPI places a high premium on excellence in undergraduate education, with rich student-faculty interaction and a distinct, rigorous project-based curriculum. In addition to filling a humanities and arts requirement, each WPI undergraduate must complete at least two significant projects, one in the major field of study and one that addresses an open-ended problem at the intersection of science, technology, and society. Through these projects, students demonstrate their proficiency as they apply their classroom knowledge to real-world problems. They gain an appreciation for how their work has an impact on a local, national, and even global level. At WPI, first-year students can participate in the Great Problems Seminar, a two-course introduction to university-level research and projects focused on themes of current global importance. The university's innovative Global Projects Program provides students the opportunity to make a difference in communities and organizations around the world in one of the more than 40 project centers throughout the Americas, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. Students benefit from WPI's deep experience in off-campus opportunity. WPI established its first off-campus residential project center in 1974 in Washington, D.C., and its first international center in 1987 in London. About two-thirds of each graduating WPI class has traveled off campus to complete projects, half going overseas. Working independently or collaboratively with faculty or industry partners, graduate students are challenged to engage in research that matters, offering contributions that lead to breakthroughs in problems facing society. Students are inspired to consider the big picture and to think like entrepreneurs. They look for solutions that aren't always obvious but will have the greatest technical and social impact. Faculty members work collaboratively with students on interdisciplinary research that seeks solutions to important and socially relevant problems in fields as diverse as life sciences, bioengineering, energy, information security, materials processing, and robotics. With thriving music and theatre departments, WPI students have opportunities to explore their creative sides, too. Quirky traditions, like the annual Pi Day festivities or celebrating the birthday of its mascot, Gompei the goat, foster a sense of community. Notable WPI academic and research centers include the Metal Processing Institute, the largest industry-university alliance in North America. WPI is making a significant investment in life sciences-related research and in the economic development of its home city by jointly developing Gateway Park, an 11-acre mixed-use, life sciences-based campus adjacent to downtown Worcester. The first building at the site, the 125,000-sq.-ft. Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center, houses the university's graduate research programs in these disciplines. A second building houses, among other tenants, its Biomanufacturing Education and Training Center; Fire Protection Engineering Laboratory, which supports one of the world's only graduate programs in fire protection engineering; and Foisie Business School.

Through rigorous academic study and intentional Christian community, students learn to think deeply, act justly and live wholeheartedly. As a community we dare to pursue excellence in everything we take on. We don't settle for good enough. Not in a lab, not in an art show, not even in a jump shot. It's a bold college path, but thousands of our students will tell you it's a path worth traveling, no matter what area sparks your passion. Because here we believe that no one major has the upper hand in uncovering truths about God and the world--all are invited into the discovery. Trace the college back to its roots as a ministry school in 1876, and you'll find that even our inaugural class participated in both literary and theological training. Calvin had a liberal arts bent--more than that, a desire to explore all things--from the start. With a multi-faceted core curriculum, Calvin offers students the freedom to chase the wonderings of philosophy, the intricacies of languages foreign and familiar, and the beauty of the world at a molecular level. And they're exploring these ideas both on campus and through more than 40 off-campus programs around the world. Calvin is proud to offer 100+ majors, minors and programs, with advanced courses that have often been compared to graduate-level experiences for their remarkable depth of learning. The meaningful work in a student's area of interest doesn't begin post-college, but right here during the Calvin experience--through courageous research, fast-paced internships and the chance to present and publish alongside world-class faculty. That cultivation of curiosity and innovation has propelled us into the top 5 percent of all undergraduate institutions whose grads go on to earn PhDs. In the fall of 2017, Calvin is introducing a new program called Calvin LifeWork to incoming students. It is a four-year voluntary life-readiness program featuring learning tracks in vocation, career readiness, financial literacy and life skills, and leadership development. Calvin LifeWork takes the fear and uncertainty out of a student's first steps into the post-grad world. Plus, students earn an automatic $3,000 scholarship after completing three years of the program--giving them a financial leg up as they begin their senior year.SportsAt Calvin, we strike a balance between working hard and playing hard.

Mahan never separated the head, heart, and hands, and neither do we. In 2007, the College established the Ribbons of Excellence, standards to which the College aspires for students and the institution. The first of the Ribbons is ""Caring for humanity and the world: making socially responsible decisions; providing service to local and global communities; interacting positively with persons of diverse cultures and backgrounds."" The College lives out this value through its commitment to service learning across the curriculum; study abroad opportunities through our Institute for Study Abroad; a vibrant Campus Ministry that spawned the student-led, anti-human trafficking organization Not For Sale; and the roughly 20,000 hours of community service students perform each year. Ribbons of Excellence Day, an annual event, celebrates mentored undergraduate research with students presenting or performing the culmination of their projects, which are completed outside of their regular classwork. AdrianCollege also offers 4+1 master's degrees in accountancy, athletic training, education, industrial chemistry, criminal justice and sport management and leadership.In 2014, Adrian College rolled out Adrian Plus, a loan repayment assistance program available to all incoming students. This initiative offers loan repayment assistance based on a student's income following graduation, and continues until the individual's income rises to a level of financial sufficiency, or until loans are paid off.","Private, Coed",1859,"United Methodist",Semester,City,"$33.6 million +","110 S.

Carleton's student body is notoriously difficult to categorize, but one word to describe it might be curious. ""Carls"" are an intellectually insatiable group that approach learning with enthusiasm, energy, and a uniquely Carleton brand of playfulness. Broad-ranging interests are common, and friendships seem to cross all traditional boundaries. As students and alumni will tell you, there's just something different about Carleton. Maybe it's the size (about 2,000 students). Or maybe it's the round-the-clock proximity of so many creative minds (95 percent of students live on campus). Whatever the reason, Carleton is a place where students are likelier to cooperate than compete. The College supports more than 200 student organizations, and features numerous a capella vocal groups, comedy troupes, dance groups and drama groups. The College also sponsors 20 varsity sports, plus a vast club and intramural sports scene with nearly 90 percent of the student body participating at a wide spectrum of ability levels. Carleton's faculty members are highly respected scholars, researchers, and practitioners in their fields. But, above all, their first priority is teaching. A student-faculty ratio of 9 to 1 ensures that Carleton students have plenty of opportunity for interaction with their professors. Carleton students come from 50 states and 42 other countries. Multicultural students account for 26 percent of Carleton's 2,000 students. More than half of all students receive need-based financial aid and about 80 percent hold jobs on campus. Carleton ranks second among all baccalaureate-level colleges in the number of students awarded prestigious National Science Foundation Fellowships for graduate study. The College has had 18 Rhodes Scholars, and 112 Fulbrights have been awarded to students and alumni since 2000. The Center for Community and Civic Engagement encourages students to combine traditional volunteer service with scholarly engagement in the community. Opportunities abound for internships, externships, summer research with faculty, and career exploration with alumni. More than 70 percent of the student population participates in off-campus studies. Carleton brings nationally and internationally distinguished guests to campus as visiting faculty and for weekly convocations, which are free and open to the public. Guests have included journalist and presidential adviser David Gergen; co-founder of Politico, Carleton alumnus and trustee John Harris; radio host and humorist Garrison Keillor; and Safe Horizon CEO Ariel Zwang. Carleton features the 880-acre Cowling Arboretum (known as ""the Arb"") that provides a network of walking, running, and cross-country skiing trails along the Cannon River and east of the campus.
