The University of New Haven has been honored as a College of Distinction for the 2014-2015 school year.

High school college counselors and educators nominate colleges and universities for recognition by Colleges of Distinction, which then evaluates each school based on qualitative and quantitative research. The colleges and universities are not ranked and instead are members of a consortium of other equally impressive schools.
Colleges of Distinction looks beyond rankings and test scores to find colleges that are the ideal places to learn, grow and succeed. The selection process reviews such factors as the school’s first year experience, general education program, experiential components of the curriculum, the strategic plan and alumni success and satisfaction.
"We focus on colleges that are deeply dedicated to students' learning," said Tyson Schritter, executive editor of Colleges of Distinction. "Schools designated as ‘Colleges of Distinction’ offer innovative learning experiences that educate, nurture and transform students."
