While our newest Spiders are still unpacking this week, we’re already receiving high praise ahead of the academic year. We can’t think of a better welcome for our Spider family than the latest ranking from Forbes!

We’re proud to be included in the list of the top 25 colleges in the South — at No. 14, to be exact — among other prestigious institutions, such as Duke, Vanderbilt, and Rice. If it’s true that you’re known by the company you keep, then we’re golden! No doubt our competitive scholarships, academic excellence, career prep, and so much more contributed to our ranking.

As the Class of 2023 gets settled, we are getting excited to see what all of our impressive students will accomplish this year!
