By: Paige Arnett U.S. News & World Report released its 2015 Best Colleges Rankings, and College of the Ozarks again made the top of several lists. The College was named #4 Best Regional College in the Midwest, #1 Best Value in the Midwest and #1 Students with the Least Debt. It was also the #1 and only college listed as Best Commitment to Undergraduate Teaching and included on the Service Learning-Program to Look For List. Freshman Agricultural Business Major Milam Smith believes that the College’s rankings will serve him well during job searches on and off campus. “There is no greater blessing than to be able to obtain a quality education at a school where you work off your debt,” Smith said. “I am very thankful that God led me to a college that values learning to such a high degree.” “College of the Ozarks consistently makes the best colleges list compiled by U.S. News & World Report, as well as many other noteworthy rankings lists and all reaffirm the institution’s quality,” said Elizabeth Hughes, public relations director. “U.S. News is a well-known, trusted source for prospective students and their families to consult during their college search.” To determine the Best Colleges lists, U.S. News analyzes several categories, such as freshman retention rate, student-to-faculty ratio, average graduation rate and peer assessment. “We rank for best quality, and we rank for best value as well,” U.S. News explains on its Why U.S. News Ranks Colleges page. “Most people choose a college only once in their lifetime, so theres not much opportunity to learn from your past mistakes. Instead, you need first-rate information from the start.” College of the Ozarks has been recognized as a best college by the U.S. News yearly since 1989. The Best Colleges 2015 guidebook is currently for sale online or at your nearest book store. More information and the rankings may also be seen at colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews/best-colleges.
