It seems Georgetown College has been effortlessly sweeping up awards and positive recognition lately. Just this June, our campus acquired the #1 spot on Zippia’s and Thrillist’s lists of stateby-state best colleges and universities to attend for post-graduate job security. More recently, SR Education Group has named Georgetown one of the top online Christian colleges of the year, as well as one of the most affordable Christian colleges.

The SR Education Group is an organization dedicated to analyzing schools based on their practicality. According to the foundation’s website, factors of practicality include a college or university’s affordability, accessibility and quality above all.

They have a mission to get every student the education he or she needs in efforts to be successful.

To support their mission statement, SR Education Group has $260,000 in scholarship money to award to deserving individuals this year.

So far, their website has collected nearly 30,000 student reviews of over 2,200 colleges around the country and they have researched over 1,400 schools to rank into 612 different “top” lists.

In their research regarding almost 650 different online degree programs, they have found Georgetown College to be the eighth best accredited online Christian college against 327 competitors.

Georgetown has earned an academic strength scoring of 62%, leaving RG Education Group reporting, “Georgetown College prepares students to pursue life with thoughtfulness and skill by providing an exception educational experience in the context of Christian lifestyle and teachings.

“Georgetown caters to the general education, promoting academic excellence as the path to self-discovery as well as the discovery of God and the world.”

Tying with Augustana University – SD, Georgetown College landed the #10 spot on SR Education Group’s list of most affordable online Christian colleges in 2018. The list consists of 24 schools whose annual tuition falls under $7,500.

Georgetown College is making steps in the right direction: being relieved from its financial sanction as well as making headlines around the country.
