Friends University named as “Hidden Gem of the Midwest”

The Online Schools Center has named Friends University a “Hidden Gem of the Midwest” in 2018. Friends University stands out as one of only 25 universities in the nation being awarded this honor and as one of only two Kansas universities on the list.

Colleges were chosen for a variety of reasons that made them Hidden Gems within their state, including low student enrollment, depth and variety of degree programs, academic resources and opportunities inside and outside of majors, student satisfaction, and faculty expertise.

“Friends University is very pleased to be recognized as one of the finest colleges in the Midwest,” said Dr. Amy Bragg Carey, Friends University president. “Our programs are among the strongest in the region. Several of our programs are unique at the national level and attract students from across the U.S., including zoo science, Master of Science in Family Therapy and Christian spiritual formation. We also have amazing faculty and staff who help our students succeed by providing a welcoming and supportive environment.”
