St. Andrews Presbyterian College ranked among best colleges |
Laurinburg, N.C. – St. Andrews Presbyterian College has been named by U.S. News and World Report as one of the nation’s top liberal arts colleges. “The faculty and staff at St. Andrews work diligently to provide a high quality education for our students,” said Paul Baldasare, president of the college. “To see that effort recognized year after year by the U.S. News is gratifying.” U.S. News bases its ranking of the top National Liberal Arts colleges and universities on 15 indicators including peer assessment, student selectivity, student retention rates, faculty resources, financial resources, graduation rate performance, and alumni giving rate. The annual list has included St. Andrews every year since 1996. “We have made a concerted effort to meet the academic needs of our students through our innovative general education curriculum while also creating programs outside the classroom to develop the whole person,” said Baldasare. “Our greatest satisfaction comes from watching our students move from incoming freshmen to successful alumni in leadership roles in their chosen professions serving the larger communities in which they live and work.” An innovative and bold academic venture, the distinctive character of St. Andrews has been marked by an interdisciplinary curriculum, a highly acclaimed college press, an award-winning pipe band, national champion equestrian teams, and first-rate scholarship. In addition to classes on the main campus, adult learners also choose the Center for Adult and Professional Studies opportunities through St. Andrews @ Sandhills and St. Andrews ONLINE. On Aug. 29, 1958, the merger between Presbyterian Junior College and Flora Macdonald College became official with the formation of St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg, N.C.
