(Bluefield)—For the second time in a month, Bluefield State College has been honored by U.S. News & World Report. The publication recently released its first-ever ranking of “America’s Best Black Colleges,” and included BSC in its “first tier,” or top-level ranking. In September, BSC was named one of “America’s Best Colleges” by the publication, marking the eighth consecutive year the College has been honored in that fashion.
The latest ranking system included peer assessment by other Historically Black Colleges and Universities’ presidents, provosts, and admission deans, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, and alumni giving.
“The recognition of Bluefield State College as one of ‘America’s Best Black Colleges,’ shortly after the selection of the institution as one of ‘America’s Best Colleges,’ strengthens regional and national awareness of our commitment to excellence,” noted Dr. Albert Walker, BSC’s President. We look forward to a future that is filled with additional opportunities to grow and serve.”
More than two-thirds of BSC’s faculty hold terminal degrees, and the College has received national recognition for its success in academic competitions, licensure passage rates, and entrepreneurial initiatives. BSC continues to enjoy enrollment growth, with an increase of more than 4% in student enrollment during the 2006-07 academic year.
