Kalamazoo College has been a fixture in the Fiske Guide to Colleges<\/em> over the years and that will continue in 2024. The global resource that profiles more than 300 of what it calls the best and most interesting colleges in the U.S., Canada and the UK, says K \u201copens up the world to its students\u2014literally,\u201d in the book\u2019s 40th<\/sup> edition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKalamazoo College (also known as K) may be a small school in America\u2019s heartland, but it pays to send the majority of students abroad during their four years, making it a launching pad to the world,\u201d the latest guide <\/em>says. \u201cIn addition to international education<\/a>, the school\u2019s K-Plan<\/a><\/em> emphasizes teaching, internships and independent, faculty-guided research.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an academic standpoint, the book notes that K has exceptional programs in the natural sciences with other strengths including international and area studies<\/a>, community and global health<\/a>, and critical ethnic studies<\/a>. Popular majors include biology<\/a>, chemistry<\/a>, psychology<\/a> and business<\/a>. In addition, faculty<\/a> members are rated highly for their enthusiasm and accessibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t forget about the quality of student life on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cK\u2019s campus is always buzzing with social activities like movies, concerts, speakers and other events,\u201d the book notes. \u201cStudents look forward to the Monte Carlo casino night, homecoming and the Day of Gracious Living, a spring day where, without prior warning, classes are canceled and students can choose to head to the beach, work on volunteer projects or relax on campus.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fiske Guide to Colleges<\/em>, compiled by former New York Times Education Editor Edward B. Fiske, is available now<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
