The university was named a Best Southeastern School on The Princeton Review’s list of "2018 Best Colleges: Region by Region." The university was also included in the Fiske Guide to Colleges 2018, which highlights the nation’s “best and most interesting” colleges and universities – one of only four public institutions in North Carolina to be so recognized.
