Randolph named a College of Distinction for 2025-26 academic year

Randolph College has once again been named a College of Distinction for the 2025-2026 academic year

The honor recognizes the College’s educational impact, fostered through hands-on learning, strong student-faculty relationships, and vibrant campus life.

The College was also recognized as a leader in international student education, undergraduate teacher preparation, and business education.

Unlike traditional ranking systems based on numerical data, the Colleges of Distinction’s selection process involves in-depth research and detailed interviews. The organization only accepts institutions that adhere to the Four Distinctions: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community, and Successful Outcomes.

“We’ve never believed in ranking schools,” said Tyson Schritter, chief operating officer at Colleges of Distinction. “Our goal is to celebrate institutions that help students find their place, their purpose, and their potential.”

“Randolph College has crafted a campus culture where students are empowered to take ownership of their learning,” Schritter added. “Its programs reflect the kind of innovation and intentionality that prepare students for life after graduation.”
