The Master’s College has been ranked 2nd (tied) in the West (in the top tier) as one of America’s Best Colleges 2007 in the Best Comprehensive Colleges-Bachelor’s category by U.S. News and World Report. This marks the 7th year in a row that TMC was listed in the top tier of western region bachelor’s degree colleges. The publication also cites The Master’s College as one of the best values ranking in the top 10 in the West in the section entitled Great Schools, Great Prices. (TMC press release, August 18, 2006)
TMC is a great school and we don’t need an external study to tell us that, though when we get one, we’ll take it. The school is not perfect, but God’s hand of blessing is very evident in so many areas.
Sidenote: There may not be another person in the world more disturbed by the cost of tuition at TMC than me, but I think it is important to note that relative to others, TMC is a good deal.
TMC is a bargain compared to its closest competitors in the region. Only San Diego Christian (aka Christian Heritage) could be comparable, and they are on the verge of losing accredidation. Biola intrigued me when I was looking, but they wanted more money and just didn’t sell themselves as well as TMC.
If US News ever did a study on study abroad programs, I have no doubt that IBEX would be a top pick.
