For the second consecutive year, The Citadel has been named Best Regional University in the South by U.S. News & World Report out of more than 100 other public and private institutions across 12 states. In addition, the college earned its eighth consecutive ranking as Best College for Veterans in the South, and the School of Engineering tied for 14th place nationally among undergraduate programs at institutions offering up to a master’s degree.
This builds on years of academic success for the Military College of South Carolina, as this is also the 15th year in a row that The Citadel has been named Best Public University in the South.
“At The Citadel, our mission is to educate and develop principled leaders for all walks of life, and recognition as the Best Regional University in the South for the second consecutive year affirms our excellence in academics and leadership,” said retired Marine Corps Gen. Glenn Walters, ’79, president of The Citadel. “These accolades reflect the discipline, commitment and camaraderie making our institution unique, and they are a direct result of the dedication demonstrated by our cadets, students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters.”
