Hi everyone, I've been checking out US News college rankings for a while now, but I'm specifically interested in their list of most innovative colleges. Does anyone know who's leading the pack, and why they're considered innovative? Thanks!
Sure, I'm happy to help give you some insight into that! The most recent US News college rankings list Arizona State University - Tempe as the most innovative university. The innovative ranking is determined by college presidents, provosts, and admissions deans who nominate up to 15 universities that are making the most innovative improvements in curriculum, faculty, students, campus life, technology, or facilities.
So, why would Arizona State University - Tempe receive such high marks for innovation? One reason is their commitment to accessibility, which they foster through highly developed online learning programs that allow a wider range of students to attend university, including non-traditional students like military veterans.
They have been particularly lauded for incorporating technological advancements into their academic offerings, as they have a great number of degree programs available online, and those programs are regarded to be of comparable quality to their on-campus counterparts.
Of course, many universities are innovative in their own ways, but I hope this brief overview gives you a sense of why ASU - Tempe is considered by so many to fit the bill!
