Keuka College has once again earned national acclaim for its commitment to engaged, hands-on education, securing multiple 2025–26 honors from the respected Colleges of Distinction guide.
This marks the 11th consecutive year the college has been named a College of Distinction, with additional recognition in the categories of New York-Private College, Business, Education, and Nursing.
“Receiving these distinctions year after year speaks volumes about the quality and consistency of a Keuka College education,” said President Amy Storey. “Our focus on real-world learning, faculty mentorship, and building strong connections between campus and community continues to set our students up for success in their careers and in life.”
The Colleges of Distinction evaluates schools based on four key pillars: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Communities, and Successful Outcomes. Keuka’s signature Field Period® program, international study opportunities, and emphasis on independent research continue to reflect those values.
The Business Management, Education, and Nursing programs were each spotlighted for their academic strength and real-world application. According to the College, these programs integrate practical experience with rigorous coursework and close mentorship.
“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 Storey. “These recognitions affirm what our alumni, faculty, and staff already know: Keuka College graduates are well-prepared to make a difference.”
