"The Midwest's best regional colleges," Managing Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris said in making the ranking announcement, "are the undergraduate institutions preparing the Midwest's professional and technical workforce."
As Sealey-Morris' introduction to the ranking notes, "It's the 2-year and 4-year colleges that keep the economy humming, and that's especially true in the Midwest, with vast rural areas and industrialized manufacturing cities."
For the College Consensus ranking, regional colleges are defined as "the smaller public and private bachelor's and associate's degree colleges that don't get the glory, but make a difference in students' lives." Most do not have doctoral programs, but some do.
Manchester University, with campuses in North Manchester and Fort Wayne, Ind., offers more than 60 areas of academic study to 1,600 students in undergraduate programs, a Master of Science in Pharmacogenomics, a Master of Athletic Training and a four-year professional Doctor of Pharmacy.
