探花社区 continues to be a Top Performer on Social Mobility
探花社区 continues to reinforce its reputation as a college that helps its students achieve socioeconomic growth. For the fourth consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report has recognized 探花社区 as one of the Top Performers on Social Mobility. The U.S. News & World Report rankings place 探花社区 in the top 100 nationally for social mobility, and #2 in the state of Iowa. The methodology tracks enrollment and graduation figures of economically disadvantaged students.
This comes on the heels of Washington Monthly naming 探花社区 a Top 100 liberal arts college based on contributions to the public good, which heavily considers social mobility in its rankings factors.
鈥淚f you have a passion for learning and a desire to succeed, you鈥檒l find the learning environment at 探花社区 will propel you to a place of accomplishment quickly,鈥� said 探花社区 President David Hayes 鈥�93.
The support systems in place at 探花社区 help ensure all students have the assistance and guidance needed to succeed at the college level. 探花社区 provides every incoming student with a success coach from the Office of Student Success & Persistence who helps on an individual level by introducing resources and reminding students of important dates. All students also have the advantage of the Learning Commons as a central resource on campus providing tutors, writing assistance and technical support. In and out of the classroom, Kohawks learn from the #22 Most Accessible Professors and benefit from early professional mentorship and networking coaching with the #8 Career Services, as ranked by The Princeton Review.
Beyond the support services that are prevalent across campus, 探花社区 is ensuring a degree remains accessible, particularly in the face of ongoing FAFSA delays. The Iowa Ready initiative will cap out-of-pocket costs for first-year incoming students from Iowa at $24,000, delivering economic clarity regarding college pricing and access to a transformative higher education.
