Brenau President Ed Schrader said that the distinction recognizes the unique assets of Brenau University Women’s College, including top-ranked fine arts and performing arts programs, residential national sororities and a nationally competitive intercollegiate athletics program with 10 NAIA-recognized sports, junior varsity teams in basketball and softball and three different cheer squads.
“The Women’s College remains the heart and soul of Brenau University, and these latest rankings reflect our commitment to maintaining the rich, liberal arts tradition that began 138 years ago,” Schrader said. “The quality of our Women’s College program, and the undergraduate experiences it provides, is certainly one of the finest in the nation.”
Schrader said that another extremely significant feature of the Women’s College is that it forms the core of a coeducational, comprehensive university offering, among other programs, the second largest MBA program in Georgia and three doctorates and many other master’s degree programs in health sciences.
