News Nov. 9, 2022

Cornerstone University ranks #1 in Michigan and #8 among Midwest regional universities for Social Mobility according to the U.S. News & World Report 2022-23 Best Colleges rankings.

The university is investing in an integrated, comprehensive, holistic student support system that offers students academic, spiritual, physical, mental health and workforce development to help students successfully graduate and prepare for their chosen field.

Achieving this ranking reflects Cornerstone’s commitment to positive student outcomes in Michigan and the Midwest region.
