September 16, 2015
Several national college rankings have recognized Roanoke College in September.
U.S. News' 2016 Best Colleges rankings included Roanoke among the A+ Colleges for B students. U.S. News describes schools on the list as those "where spirit and hard work could make all the difference ..."
LiberalArtsColleges.com ranked Roanoke among the Top 20 nationwide for "Accessible and Approachable Professors" in its College Rankings That Matter.
"Without a doubt, great professors lead to a better experience for students," the site says about the list.
No surprise to Roanoke since great professors are a long standing tradition. Roanoke's Dr. Paul Hanstedt was named the Virginia Professor of the Year in 2014. "My teaching philosophy is: Push them hard, treat them with respect, recognize what they are capable of and insist they meet those expectations."
"Without a doubt, great professors lead to a better experience for students," the site says about the list of approachable and accessible professors.
Students can expect faculty members to be attentive, supportive and understanding to their needs while simultaneously providing a vigorous academic structure that they need to achieve their goals.
