Brooklyn College was ranked one of the premiere institutions of higher learning in the country in the Princeton Review’s The Best 381 Colleges: 2017 Edition. The college has consistently ranked as a top American school by the Review for over a decade. The latest rankings add to the college’s long list of distinctions.

The college’s faculty received high marks amongst that population as well, with students noting that professors are “really passionate about the subjects they teach and students’ career paths.” They also said that special programs, such as the Honors Academy and the Magner Career Center, distinguished the college as exceptionally preparing students through rigorous academics and exclusive access to internships, employment opportunities, and alumni mentorship.
