Westmont College made it into the U.S. News & World Report‘s top 100 liberal arts schools for the fifth consecutive year, checking in at number 94. The Montecito institution is only one of two Christian colleges to make it onto the list. It is credited with both improving freshman retention rates and graduation rates. “Small class sizes,” said President Gayle Beebe in a statement, “are just one measurement of how we strive to maintain an environment where faculty members are genuinely interested in our students’ well-being, academically, personally and spiritually.”
