Princeton Review Slots The Academy High In Several
Categories
The Air Force Academy received top-10 rankings in most
available professors, low drug and alcohol use, and best school
administration, according to The Best 376 Colleges book, released
today by Princeton Review.
The Princeton Review ranks the Air Force Academy's faculty fifth
in the nation in "most accessible professors" and ranked the
Academy's administration as No. 9 in the nation in "School Runs
Like Butter."
At the U.S. Air Force Academy, the student-faculty ratio is 8:1,
average class size is 20, 100 percent of the faculty are full-time
and no classes are taught by teaching assistants. Several academic
departments here also staff extra instruction laboratories
throughout the academic day, with at least one professor available
each class period to help cadets tackle questions arising from
their latest lessons. The Princeton Review ranked the Air Force
Academy number one in professor availability in its 2006, 2007,
2008 and 2009 Best Colleges editions, and number four in the same
category for its 2010 Best Colleges edition.
The Air Force Academy was also selected as one of the Best
Western Colleges on the book's regional college list. The Princeton
Review features the Air Force Academy and other local colleges in
The Best 376 Colleges, the new 2012 edition of its annual best
colleges guide. The guide utilizes online student surveys in 62
categories to assess the academic, administrative, social,
extracurricular and quality-of-life aspects at American
colleges.
"Each of our 376 best colleges offers outstanding academics,"
says Robert Franek, the book's author and Princeton Review senior
vice president and publisher. "We don't rank them hierarchically, 1
to 376, because they differ widely -- and importantly -- in their
program offerings and campus culture, and that is their strength.
Instead, we tally lists of the top 20 schools in 62 categories
based entirely on what students at these schools tell us about
their campus experiences. Our goal is not to crown one college
'best' overall, but to help applicants find and get in to the
college best for them."
