The sign of excellence
Winston-Salem State University has for the 10th consecutive year been ranked among Top Public Comprehensive Colleges in the South–Bachelor’s category in the 2010 America’s Best Colleges issue of U.S. News & World Report Magazine.
Although ranked third in the 2010 rankings, WSSU has been ranked either number one or number two in this category since 2002. The rankings are part of the magazine’s 2010 annual issue of top universities in the nation.
WSSU was ranked 17th nationwide among top Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the second ranking in that category by U.S. News & World Report.
“Our consistent ranking in this category supports what we believe to be true,” said WSSU Chancellor Donald J. Reaves. “That belief is that we are on the right track in what we are trying to accomplish in producing future leaders and that the quality of our programs is highly valued.”
To compile the rankings, the publication examined several criteria, including an institution’s academic reputation, retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduate rate performance and alumni giving rate.
