Troy University has been named among the best colleges and universities in the southern United States by The Princeton Review for the 20th straight year.
TROY was one of only 109 colleges and universities to receive the designation in the 10-state southern region. In all, The Princeton Review recognized 631 colleges and universities in seven zones – Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, South, Southwest, West and International.
“It is often said that the best barometer for what you can do is what you have done. At Troy University, we are committed to preparing our students to be globally competitive,” said Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., Chancellor. “I believe it is that student-first philosophy and commitment to excellence in academics and service that continues to drive our consistent recognition by The Princeton Review.”
A leading tutoring, test preparation and college admissions services company, The Princeton Review has been listing colleges and universities annually in various categories for more than 30 years.
TROY’s inclusion is the result of a survey that asks students to rate their schools in several areas and report on their experiences. Areas included: academics/administration, campus life, fellow students and their own experiences. Surveys are conducted on campus and via The Princeton Review website, at which students have the option of completing a secure survey online.
The recognition from The Princeton Review is just the latest accolade the University has received. TROY earned the 2024-2025 Military Friendly School designation from G.I. Jobs magazine, receiving the organization’s highest gold ranking. Niche.com ranked TROY as its 25th best online college in America. Several of the University’s programs have earned recognition this year, including the online graphic design program, which was ranked the best in the country by Forbes Advisor, and the online master’s program in nursing, which was ranked among The Princeton Review’s best online nursing programs.
