Celebrating Student-Centered Colleges

Leading Colleges is moving beyond traditional rankings to help school and independent counselors identify outstanding educational options.

Leading Colleges is pleased to recognize 72 different institutions that have been nominated for a Leading Colleges Award for their excellence in one of the four criteria of Leading Colleges:

  • Ethical, fair, and transparent recruiting practices
  • A measured focus on student retention
  • Student outcomes demonstrating the value of a college degree
  • Attention to social justice and their role as an agent of change

In addition to recognizing awards for individual categories, Leading Colleges is a membership organization of institutions that have been certified by an independent review committee to demonstrate excellence in each of the four areas.
