Slippery Rock University has been named a College of Distinction for the 2023-24 academic year, making this the 10th straight year the university has received this recognition.

Colleges of Distinction is an online resource that provides college profiles and resources for students, parents and high school counselors, according to a July 10 news release from SRU. Its selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools, accepting only those that adhere to four distinctions, which are engaged students; great teaching; vibrant community; and successful outcomes.

To be named a College of Distinction, SRU demonstrated excellence in undergraduate education in such factors as student engagement, teaching excellence, outcomes-based learning and community involvement, the news release said.

“We believe that engaged students are successful students,” said Tyson Schritter, chief operating officer at Colleges of Distinction, “and SRU’s dedication to experiential learning shows us that each of its students has the opportunity to play an active role in their education.”
