UNCW included in annual Fiske Guide to Higher Ed

Ten colleges in the state have been listed in this year’s Fiske Guide to Higher Education. The list compiled by former New York Times education editor Edward Fiske, is a selective, subjective and systematic look at three hundred-plus colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain. UNCW made the list again this year. Under the description for the local university, Fiske says the school is still overshadowed by Chapel Hill and the other biggies in the strong UNC system, but is making a name for itself. UNCW was also listed as being strong in marine biology and other sciences and Fiske says that even though you may not see the Seahawks in the NC Double A Final Four any time soon, you may be able to get to know your professors.
