Keuka College has once again been nationally recognized for its commitment to engaged, high-impact education, earning multiple accolades from Colleges of Distinction for the 2025–26 academic year.
The College has been named a:
- 2025–26 College of Distinction
- New York-Private College of Distinction
- College of Distinction for Business
- College of Distinction for Education
- College of Distinction for Nursing
This marks the 11th consecutive year that Keuka College has earned a place among the nation’s top colleges in this respected guide.
Colleges of Distinction evaluates institutions based on four key pillars: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Communities, and Successful Outcomes. Keuka College’s emphasis on experiential learning – through its signature Field Period® program, international study opportunities, and independent research – continues to exemplify these values.
In addition to the overall recognition, Keuka College’s Business Management, Education, and Nursing programs were each singled out for excellence. These distinctions reflect the College’s commitment to providing discipline-specific experiences that blend academic rigor with hands-on learning, internship opportunities, and community engagement.
“Whether it’s preparing a student to teach a classroom, care for patients, or lead a company, our programs are grounded in practical experience and personal growth,” said Keuka College President Amy Storey. “These recognitions affirm what our alumni, faculty, and staff already know: Keuka College graduates are well-prepared to make a difference.”
