Albright Recognized Nationally for the Arts

Newsweek Ranks Albright in Top 25 Most Artistic Schools

September 5, 2011

Reading, Pa. – Newsweek’s College Rankings 2011 rated Albright in the top 25 colleges in the country for artistic students. “Most artistic” colleges were selected from colleges across the country “based on how imaginative their student body is, as well as how much the college fosters a creative atmosphere. We considered two metrics that quantify both: the percentage of students majoring in visual or performing arts and the number of official campus clubs devoted to artistic pursuits. We only looked at four-year schools that admit less than 50 percent of applicants, to screen for the most selective of the creative colleges,” Newsweek noted.

The Newsweek college rankings note that choosing a college isn’t a “one-size-fits-all decision” and list top colleges and universities in categories such as artistic, activists and brainiacs, among others.
