PEORIA, Ill. — Bradley University can add a few more accolades to its collection.
The Peoria institution announced Monday it was named best in Illinois in four different categories by the U.S. News and World Report Best Colleges 2020.
Bradley took the top spot in the state for Undergraduate Engineering Program for Non-Doctorate Degree Offering Schools, Innovation, Best College for Veterans, and Regional University in the Midwest.
University Spokesperson Renee Charles said the school has achieved the Regional University in the Midwest ranking multiple years in a row, but emphasized its value.
“We draw a lot of our students from the Midwest and from the state of Illinois,” she said.
“So, it’s wonderful we can use that to say what we’re telling you about being such a great institution is now backed up.”
Bradley was also named Sixth Best Value School for regional Midwestern universities.
