Ithaca College is featured in the latest edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges, a bestselling compendium of the top 300-plus institutions throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Now in its 40th year, the Fiske Guide highlights the “best and most interesting” colleges and universities.
In its description of Ithaca College, the guide notes that IC offers “an unusually wide array of programs for a smallish university,” and that it “has led the way in showing how to combine hands-on preprofessional training in a wide range of fields, from communications and theatre to health sciences, with a solid grounding in the liberal arts.”
Compiled by former longtime New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske, the guide serves as an authoritative source for college-bound students and their families and is the one that high school counselors recommend most often to them. The guide’s selection process is based on questionnaires completed by current students and administrators, campus visits, and additional research conducted by the editorial staff.
