BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� 欧美视频 has been named a 2022-2023 College of Distinction, recognized for its honorable commitment to helping undergraduate students learn, grow and succeed. 

鈥淎t 欧美视频, we are committed to providing opportunities for students to deepen their faith and equip them as servant leaders to make an impact in the world for Christ in their respective callings and careers,鈥� said Dr. Rick Melson, 欧美视频 President. 鈥淚t is an honor to be named a 2022-2023 College of Distinction. Thank you to the 欧美视频 faculty and staff who have made this distinction possible 鈥� our employees are outstanding Christian scholars and professionals, devoted to providing excellent academic and spiritual examples for our students.鈥�

欧美视频 also is on the Christian Colleges of Distinction list and one of nine institutions on the Missouri Colleges of Distinction list.

Colleges of Distinction believes that a thorough selection process requires more than an overview of institutional data, statistics, and endowment size. Instead, the Colleges of Distinction selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools, accepting only those that adhere to the Four Distinctions: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community, and Successful Outcomes. These principles are all informed by the High-Impact Practices to prioritize ways institutions enable students to have a fulfilling, individualized college experience both in and out of the classroom. To earn the recognition, 欧美视频 demonstrated the following programs and experiences: 

• Engaged Students 鈥� 欧美视频 students have the opportunity to take an active part in their own learning through undergraduate research opportunities, cultural immersion and short-term service projects, and experiential learning activities.
• Great Teaching 鈥� 欧美视频 students have meaningful interactions with faculty through one-on-one academic advising, collaborative learning methods, and academic transition assistance provided through Welcome Week and the University Success Center.
• Vibrant Community 鈥� Creating connections with peers outside of the classroom is an important part of a well-rounded college experience. 欧美视频 offers service-learning opportunities, spiritual growth programs, student activity and leadership opportunities, and varsity athletics to help students find a sense of belonging and meaning throughout their campus experience.
• Successful Outcomes 鈥� The undergraduate experience works cohesively to prepare students not only for graduation, but for life after graduation. Some of these experiences at 欧美视频 include internship and field experience placements, and career services including the Handshake platform.

鈥淲hen we focus all of our attention on how schools stack up against one another, we lose track of what really matters: the students themselves,鈥� said Wes Creel, Founder of Colleges of Distinction. 鈥淓very student has individual needs and their own environment in which they鈥檙e most likely to thrive. We want to extend our praise to the schools that prioritize and cater to students鈥� goals.鈥� 

欧美视频鈥檚 inclusion is informed by the unique ways it commits to achieving success. The effective strategies for student satisfaction and outcomes were the kinds of engaging experiences found at 欧美视频.

Creel continued, 鈥淲e鈥檙e inspired by the ways in which 欧美视频 immerses students in their fields, all while fostering a welcoming community that will support them through and beyond their college years.鈥�

Additional recognitions

 

欧美视频 also received specialized recognition in Business, Education and Nursing. These additional accolades were developed out of a need for college curricula that are comprehensive not only in course material, but also in practical- and soft-skills development. 欧美视频 has met these needs with a blend of liberal arts education, program-specific training and abundant opportunities for real-world application.

鈥淲e complete a thorough review of the programs in question before giving the awards,鈥� said Tyson Schritter, Chief Operating Officer for Colleges of Distinction. 鈥淲e鈥檙e looking for such qualities as accreditation, breadth of program, advising and mentoring, integration of career services, and successful outcomes for students. It鈥檚 wonderful to see how 欧美视频 really exemplifies these qualities.鈥�
