Princeton Review divided the country into four regions and identified 629 colleges that it feels stand out as "academically excellent institutions of higher learning." Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo is among that number.
Princeton Review points out The Carnegie Foundation classifies WMU as one of the nation's 139 public research universities. U.S. News & World Report names WMU among the top-100 public institutions in the nation and the top 30 in the Midwest. And WMU is just one of 97 public universities nationwide authorized to have its own chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
Excerpt: Students who choose Western Michigan University get an edge in work and life by taking full advantage of a school that combines the resources of a national research university with the personal attention and atmosphere often found at a smaller institution. WMU focuses on providing the tools students need to become successful alumni, and its top-notch programs, faculty and facilities have attracted national as well as international attention.
