Berry College has again earned national recognition as one of the country’s best institutions for undergraduate education, according to the latest college guide from The Princeton Review.

The Mount Berry institution is included among the colleges selected for The Princeton Review’s annual “Best Colleges” guide, which was released Tuesday. Schools chosen for the guide are selected primarily based on The Princeton Review’s assessment of their academic quality, with the organization reviewing data from thousands of colleges across the country.

Berry College Vice President of Enrollment Andrew Bressette said the recognition reflects not only the quality of the college’s academics but also Berry’s emphasis on affordability, mentoring and preparing students for life after graduation.

“Being listed as one of the nation’s best colleges is exciting, but being recognized for delivering real value such as 5 consecutive years where 99% of our graduates have positive career outcomes means our commitment to affordability coupled with our mentoring, LifeWorks program and rigorous academics are delivering,” Bressette said.

Berry’s LifeWorks program is a distinctive part of the college experience, providing students opportunities for paid work and professional development while completing their undergraduate education.

The Princeton Review describes the institutions selected for its Best Colleges guide as a highly selective group of American four-year colleges and universities. The company evaluates schools for inclusion based largely on academics, while its individual ranking lists draw heavily from surveys in which students describe their experiences on campus.

Berry has been a recurring selection in The Princeton Review’s college guides. In the previous edition, the college was included among “The Best 391 Colleges” and was also recognized on the organization’s “Best South” and “Best Value Colleges” lists.

Located in Mount Berry near Rome, Berry College offers more than 75 areas of study and combines traditional academics with hands-on learning and professional development opportunities.

The latest recognition adds to several national honors Berry has received for academics, value and career preparation.
