Wichita, Kan. — Colleges of Distinction advocates for schools whose undergraduate experiences are grounded in a philosophy of well-rounded, individualized engagement.

Now, more than ever, it’s important for those entering the job market to have the kind of experiential education offered in the business and education programs at Friends University.
Already honored as a College of Distinction for its high-impact approach to education, Friends University has received specialized recognition in business, education and as a Christian college.

“We complete a thorough review of the programs in question before giving the awards,” said Tyson Schritter, Chief Operating Officer for Colleges of Distinction. “We’re looking for such qualities as accreditation, breadth of program, advising and mentoring, integration of career services, and successful outcomes for students. It’s wonderful to see how Friends University really exemplifies these qualities.”
