*ENC Named One of “America’s Best Colleges”*
Eastern Nazarene College has been named as one of “America’s Best
Colleges" by /U.S. News & World Report/ in their 2008 “Best
Baccalaureate Colleges” category. ENC represents one of only three CCCU
<http://www.cccu.org/news/newsID.564/news_detail.asp> colleges, and one
of eight liberal arts colleges, listed in the northern region by /U.S.
News/. Key criteria that give ENC an edge in the annual rankings are its
low student to faculty ratio and small class sizes, as well as a high
freshman retention rate. “ENC has a longstanding tradition of providing
a supportive community that values both academic pursuit and spiritual
growth,” said Academic Dean Nancy Ross.
This fall, ENC prepares to welcome an incoming freshman class in which
16% are eligible to participate in the college’s Honors Scholar Program.
The ENC student body is characterized by its diversity, with a 24%
overall diversity rate, the highest among U.S. Nazarene colleges. “Our
diversity rate speaks to ENC’s commitment to multicultural
understanding, one of our defining values,” said Jeff Wells, Vice
President for Enrollment. While sponsored by the Church of the Nazarene,
ENC serves students from many Christian denominations. Its unique
academic and religious atmosphere draws students from all over the
United States and several foreign countries.
ENC students enjoy a park-like campus within the urban setting of
Boston’s South Shore, along with the unparalleled opportunities of one
of the world’s leading academic and cultural centers. Graduates of ENC
boast an amazing admittance rate into top graduate and medical schools
and a 100 percent acceptance rate into law schools.
Many of ENC’s faculty are active scholars within their fields, involved
in research and publishing within peer-reviewed academic and popular
journals, and several have established international reputations in
their fields. Nevertheless, at ENC the faculty emphasis remains on
teaching and mentoring students in a nurturing, spiritually informed,
and academically supportive environment. With a solid reputation for
cultivating redemptive people who seek to live lives of leadership and
service, ENC is poised to embrace its next century of growth and
achievement as an important part of Boston’s educational landscape.
The exclusive rankings of /U.S. News & World Report /are published in
the magazine’s annual ‘America’s Best Colleges’ guidebook and online at
www.usnews.com/colleges <http://www.usnews.com/colleges>. Using a
proprietary methodology, the annual rankings represent the most
comprehensive look at how schools stack up based on a set of 15 widely
accepted indicators of excellence, and help consumers evaluate and
compare data compiled from more than 1,400 accredited four-year schools.
