WCC’s Curriculum, “a model of intellectual rigor,” Receives Coveted “A” Ranking from ACTA

“At a time when many universities set minimal expectations for general education, Wyoming Catholic College’s curriculum serves as a model of intellectual rigor.” — American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA)

Once again, Wyoming Catholic College has received the coveted “A” ranking from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), making it one of only 19 schools to receive top marks out of the 1,100+ institutions and educational programs  included in the annual study.

The annual refresh of ACTA’s What Will They Learn?® initiative “offers some hope for the future of academic rigor and highlights the institutions doing it best,” but it also “shows plenty of room for improvement among our nation’s colleges and universities.” “Even as colleges and universities feel unprecedented pressure to cut academic programs, we keep institutions focused on their core mission: educating students,” ACTA’s Academic Affairs Fellow, Veronica Bryant, noted. “A strong general education program provides the best academic foundation for all students. This is the only nationwide grading system for general education.”

The system identifies seven subject areas that together form the foundation of a strong liberal arts core curriculum, then grades college and universities from “A+” to “F” based on how many of those subjects are required.

ACTA’s What Will They Learn?® project is proud to award @WYOCathCollege an “A” for its standout core curriculum.
