In its 2022-2033 Best Colleges survey, U.S. News & World Report ranked Beacon College in the top 10 (out of 124 institutions) in the category of “Regional Colleges—South.”

The ranking, up over 25 spots from the previous year, is a testament to the faculty, staff, administration, and board of trustees’ devotion to the success of the college’s students.

Beacon College is the country’s first four-year accredited college to award bachelor’s degrees exclusively to students with specific learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The college, located in downtown Leesburg, tailors teaching to each student’s learning style and unique needs, optimizing their potential and providing them with the resources and support they need to thrive in a college academic setting.

Some of Beacon College’s graduates are accepted into large universities, where they pursue advanced degrees. Others become gainfully employed as web page designers, entrepreneurs, business owners, and high school guidance counselors.

This ranking certainly isn’t the first time Beacon College has been nationally recognized.
