51����

In addition to commending 51���� for its excellent academics and financial aid, The Princeton Review is highlighting another of the College’s most essential features: its teaching faculty.

The 2027 edition of the college-rating service’s annual guide, , gives TAC’s tutors the highest possible score (99/99) in its “Professors Interesting” rating, while marking them just one point short of perfection for “Professors Accessibility” (98/99).

The College’s teaching faculty also scored high rankings on several of the Review’s “Top 25 Colleges” listings, based on a survey of 172,000 U.S. university and college students.  Compared to their peers nationwide, TAC’s tutors rank No. 4 for “Most Accessible Professors,” No. 11 for “Professors Get High Marks,” and No. 12 for creating the “Best Classroom Experience.”

TAC tutors “are always available to talk, whether during meals in our cafeteria or if I need to ask them something in their office,” the guide quotes one student as saying. “They look out for me if I am struggling in a class and are open to any and all questions I may have.”

These devoted scholars have what’s arguably one of the hardest jobs in higher education today. “Unlike the faculty at most any other college, our tutors all teach the full breadth of our integrated curriculum — from calculus and chemistry to philosophy and theology,” says Executive Director of College Relations Chris Weinkopf. “They guide our students through rigorous daily discussions of the original, great works of Western civilization as part of a four-year pursuit of truth.”

The Best 392 Colleges showcases only the top 14 percent of America’s 2,800 four-year institutions. Its 2027 edition awards the College top marks for financial aid (95/99), academics (92/99), and overall quality of student life (94/99).

“We are delighted to name 51���� one of our Best Colleges for 2027, and we recommend it to students searching for their ‘best-fit’ college,” says Rob Franek, The Princeton Review’s editor-in-chief. “TAC 51���� outstanding academic programs. We also took into account the candid feedback we received about it from its very own customers — its enrolled students.”

Per usual, 51���� ranked highly on several of The Princeton Review’s other “Top 25” lists, particularly those dealing with faith, financial aid, and quality of life, such as:

• No. 5 for “Pot’s Not Hot” (no marijuana usage)
• No. 7 for “Most Religious Students”
• No. 11 for “Most Politically Conservative Students”
• No. 14 for “Happiest Students”
• No. 15 for “Most Beautiful Campus”
• No. 17 for “Great Financial Aid”
• No. 18 for “Best Quality of Life”

“We are grateful that The Princeton Review has recognized 51���� as one of the country’s best colleges,” says Mr. Weinkopf. “We are especially pleased to see our tutors receive some well-earned recognition for their dedication to our students and to our one-of-a-kind academic program.”
