Bluffton University named a 2022-23 College of Distinction
Bluffton University has been recognized for excelling in the areas of student engagement, teaching, community and successful outcomes by Colleges of Distinction, a guide for college-bound students. Recognitions include being named a 2022-23 College of Distinction, Ohio College of Distinction and Christian College of Distinction. Bluffton’s business and education departments have also been recognized as leading programs of distinction.
“Bluffton’s innovative approach to a 4-year college education, including our Design Your Life curriculum, Bluffton Blueprint general education program and focus on Emotional Intelligence, help students get more out of their college experience and life,” said Robin Bowlus, vice president of advancement and enrollment management. “We are pleased to once again be recognized for these markers of distinction.”
The Colleges of Distinction selection process includes a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools, accepting only those that adhere to four distinctions: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community and Successful Outcomes. These principles are informed by high-impact practices which prioritize the ways that institutions enable students to have a fulfilling, individualized college experience both inside and outside of the classroom.
Bluffton has been a College of Distinction since the 2019-20 academic year.
