August 31, 2016
Coker College has been named in the Princeton Review’s “2017 Best Colleges: Region by Region” web feature for the 12th consecutive year. Coker is one of just 139 schools in the Southeast awarded this distinction, which identifies “academically outstanding” colleges and universities.
“It’s wonderful to be recognized for the excellent work being done by our students, faculty, and staff,” said Coker College President Robert Wyatt. “Every individual on our campus has their own story. Together, those stories create a family atmosphere and encourage rigorous academic discussions. That’s what makes the Coker experience so remarkable.”
The Princeton Review’s “Best Colleges” list for the Southeast is comprised of institutions from 12 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
