The organization lavished praise upon multiple Ursinus programs.

"Ursinus College has done a remarkable job of building a 'close-knit community' dedicated to helping students succeed with strong academics and 'plenty of opportunities for leadership involvement through clubs, student jobs, and internships,'" Princeton Review writes. "The 'liberal arts curricula [encourages undergrads] to explore different fields' and potentially uncover new academic areas of interest. Even better, there’s a tremendous 'focus on research.' Students also rush to highlight the 'science and pre-health prep program[s],' duly noting Ursinus’ 'high medical school acceptance rate.'"
