Schools are assessed for academic excellence based on data and information submitted by the school, as well as student surveys and other sources.
For the 15th consecutive year, The Princeton Review is recognizing California University of Pennsylvania as one of the best universities in the northeastern United States.
The nationally known education services company profiles Cal U in its “2020 Best Regional Colleges” listing at www.PrincetonReview.com/bestNEcolleges.
The 224 northeastern institutions profiled this year are “academically outstanding and well worth consideration” as part of a student’s college search, the website says. The colleges that made the "Best in the Northeast" list are located in 11 Northeastern states and the District of Columbia.
In its 2020 “Region by Region” guide, the Princeton Review recognized 656 colleges and universities in the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast and West, along with international schools. These represent about 22% of the four-year, degree-granting institutions in the United States.
Schools are assessed for academic excellence based on data and information submitted by the school, as well as student surveys and other sources.
“The school has a great environment for studying, and the faculty and staff are pretty great,” one student said in response to the survey. “They make sure they give you the support and aid you need to succeed in and out of the classroom.”
Another said the students’ broad range of interests and diversity make the campus feel inclusive and inviting. “Almost everyone is involved in some sort of club,” one student said. “It is nice to be here and see everyone moving towards their goals, [still making] time to come together for school-held events.”
For more than 25 years, Princeton Review has been recognized as a leader in tutoring, test prep and college admission services. Its website allows students to register and explore information about colleges and universities nationwide.
