Press release submitted by St. Ambrose ST. AMBROSE EXCEEDS ENROLLMENT GOALS DAVENPORT, Iowa—St. Ambrose University has exceeded enrollment goals for the 2009-2010 academic year, including the largest freshman class to date, according to the official 20th day count. "Meeting enrollment goals is a testimony to St. Ambrose"s strong academics, generous financial aid packages, and dedicated faculty and staff," says James Loftus, vice-president of enrollment management and student services at St. Ambrose. "In these economic times this is great news not only for the university but for the Quad Cities community, as well." Also this year, two national ranking publications, The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report, have rated St. Ambrose University among the top universities in the region. St. Ambrose is one of the best universities in the Midwest according to The Princeton Review. The New York City-based education services company selected the university as one of 158 institutions of higher education it recommends in its "Best in the Midwest" designation. Colleges named "regional bests" represent only about 25 percent of the nation's four-year colleges. This is the fifth year in a row St. Ambrose has been selected. The U.S. News & World Report ranked St. Ambrose University 36th among "Best Universities–Master"s By Region, Midwest," using 15 indicators of academic excellence. The region includes 12 states. Among university strengths related to high rankings are nationally accredited academic programs in nursing, occupational therapy and physical therapy. St. Ambrose offers one of only 21 post-doctoral orthopedic PT clinical residencies nationwide, the only master"s level occupational therapy program in the state of Iowa, and a new master of speech-language pathology degree program. The new $11.5 million health sciences education center will offer students state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories in response to the growing need for highly qualified health care professionals. Founded in 1882, St. Ambrose is a coeducational, liberal arts university with more than 3,800 students. It maintains an 11-to-1 student-faculty ratio while offering more than 75 undergraduate majors, as well as master"s and doctoral programs.
