For nearly two decades, U.S. News & World Report has ranked us tops in the South. Kiplinger's Personal Finance has us as the 28th top value among public colleges. Superb education. Excellent return on investment. A bright future for you.

80 percent of our undergrads do research, a practicum, an internship or student teach. Lots do more than one of these.

Our professors make teaching their No. 1 priority. That's rare at a school our size. Small classes. Attention from professors. Big-school opportunities, yet a small-school feel.

A recent Chronicle of Higher Education survey ranked us No. 2 in the country among master's-level schools for the number of students studying abroad. Imagine following your Shakespeare class with a quick trip to Stratford-on-Avon. Or your art history class with a visit to a Florence museum.
