Princeton Review honors AUM for excellence

Auburn University at Montgomery recently earned recognition from The Princeton Review as one of the “Best Colleges in the Southeast” for the fourth consecutive year.

AUM is included among 143 of the best universities in the Southeast as part of the website’s “2023 Best Colleges: Region by Region” feature examining 655 “academically outstanding” institutions in five “zones” – Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, West and International. In all, the colleges recognized on the “regional best” lists for 2023 make up less than a quarter of the nation’s 2,700 four-year colleges and universities.

“This accolade speaks to the efforts of our faculty and staff in serving the needs of Auburn University at Montgomery students,” AUM Chancellor Carl A. Stockton said. “What makes this recognition particularly gratifying is that The Princeton Review draws on extensive surveys of students in evaluating the quality of academic programs and instruction, support systems and campus resources, diversity and opportunities for student involvement.”

The Princeton Review’s anonymous survey of students revealed an appreciation for AUM’s “engaging [and] knowledgeable” faculty,” “rigorous and challenging” coursework, and a diverse campus that is a “huge melting pot.”

One student survey respondent said that AUM’s professors “don’t teach just for the paycheck – they care.”

The Princeton Review is an education services company known for its tutoring, test-prep, books, and other student resources. Every year, it helps millions of college- and graduate school-bound students achieve their education and career goals through online and in-person courses delivered by a network of more than 4,000 teachers and tutors, online resources, and its more than 150 print and digital books published by Penguin Random House.
