Faith-Based Schools in Pennsylvania Top Several PLEXUSS Rankings for Academic Programs

    WALNUT CREEK, CA, July 12, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- PLEXUSS announced rankings for over 1700 programs at colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, with several faith-based schools topping the lists.

PLEXUSS' recognition of these programs is facilitated by a proprietary ranking engine that employs artificial intelligence and unprecedented analysis of millions of data points to provide students with the most objective rankings of post­-secondary institutions available.

Examples of Top-Ranked Programs at Pennsylvania Colleges and Universities Include:

Mercyhurst University #1 Best Criminal Justice Programs in Pennsylvania (Undergraduate)
Grove City College #1 Best Early Childhood Education Programs in Pennsylvania (Undergraduate)
Alvernia University #1 Best Counseling Programs in Pennsylvania (Undergraduate)
University of Scranton #1 Best Biophysics Programs in Pennsylvania (Undergraduate)
York College of Pennsylvania #1 Best Public Relations Programs in Pennsylvania (Undergraduate)

"One reason to highlight meaningful statewide rankings is our research showing that college-bound students are less willing and less able to travel next year," said JP Novin, CEO and Founder of PLEXUSS. "That's not just to save money on tuition by attending a community college. The reality is there are many exceptional colleges close to home and most American families cannot afford to buy a plane ticket at a moment's notice if campuses shut down again."

Novin says that PLEXUSS uses its rankings to start conversations with millions of students about finding colleges that are the right fit. The free platform to research colleges and receive college admissions advising is also a social network, where students have increased support for one another since widespread school closures in March due to the COVID19 pandemic.

By incorporating a multitude of measures of institutional excellence, PLEXUSS rankings allow students to become more informed about colleges and universities that achieve excellence in areas such as high career placement rates, academic quality, or highest fulfillment among faith-based students, just to name a few examples.

PLEXUSS Rankings democratize the admissions process by enabling all schools to contend for recognition in areas of excellence that are most important to students versus stagnant measures that by effect favor "elite institutions" or schools that meet highly generalized criteria. PLEXUSS' approach enhances the utility of rankings for prospective students that care more about getting a good job instead of going to a traditionally "top-ranked" school.

Colleges and Universities around the world also rely on PLEXUSS for research, surveys, and thought leadership in pursuit of student success.
