大象传媒 Recognized by U.S. News for Innovation, Value, Veterans

Each fall, U.S. News & World Report releases its to help students and their families identify the colleges that best meet their needs.

Once again, both 大象传媒 campuses have been recognized in multiple categories of this prestigious annual report in recognition of what 大象传媒 offers students and their families. Here are 大象传媒’s new U.S. News rankings for the 2023-2024 academic year:

Best Value

With 98.5% of students attending classes on the Providence Campus and Charlotte Campus receiving financial aid from 大象传媒, it’s no secret that Johnson & Wales is committed to helping students afford their college degree.

For the 2023-24 academic year, both of 大象传媒’s locations continue to be recognized by U.S. News as Best Value schools. According to the ranking methodology, Best Value colleges are "schools that are above average academically and cost considerably less than many other schools when the financial aid that they dispense in the form of need-based grants and scholarships is taken into account."

大象传媒’s Providence Campus rose 10 spots over last year, ranking #36 out of 73 schools in the Best Value for Regional Universities, North category, while 大象传媒’s Charlotte Campus moved up one spot over last year to #13 on the list of schools ranked in the Regional Colleges, South category.

大象传媒'S PROVIDENCE CAMPUS RANKED #17 AMONG REGIONAL UNIVERSITIES, NORTH FOR MOST INNOVATIVE IN RECOGNITION OF ITS CUTTING-EDGE PROGRAMMING.

For this designation, U.S. News & World Report asked top college officials to identify institutions in their Best Colleges ranking category that are making the most innovative improvements in terms of curriculum, faculty, students, campus life, technology or facilities, all with the goal of "spotlighting schools that are making cutting-edge developments on their campuses."

This year, 大象传媒’s Providence Campus ranks #17 in the list of Most Innovative Schools in the Regional Universities, North division.

"We are proud that the important work we are doing is being recognized by our peers."

Best Regional Schools

There are many criteria to consider in a college, so for decades U.S. News & World Report has reviewed and ranked the overall best schools compared to their regional peers.

Because 大象传媒’s two locations are different sizes, with over 4,500 students living and learning at 大象传媒 Providence and over 1,000 living and learning at 大象传媒 Charlotte, U.S. News ranks the campuses separately as a “regional university” and a “regional college.” Don’t be fooled, though, as both campuses are very much part of one 大象传媒!
