Wheeling Jesuit University Named ‘Hidden Gem’ College

For the second straight year, College Raptor Inc., has named Wheeling Jesuit University the best hidden gem institution in the state of West Virginia.

Hidden gem institutions are defined as “high-caliber colleges and universities which receive fewer than 5,000 applicants per year but have a total enrollment of greater than 1,000.”

“Our university is truly a hidden gem in the state of West Virginia and the region. Wheeling Jesuit’s curriculum, dedicated faculty and beautiful campus provide students an environment perfect for learning,” WJU President, the Rev. James Fleming, said.

Wheeling Jesuit was one of 49 institutions recognized across the country. One college was named from each state, with the exception of Alaska, which did not have an institution meeting the criteria for recognition.

The top hidden gem university in each state was determined by analyzing colleges based on their enrollment and application data submitted to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.

The announcement is meant to call attention to institutions that some students may overlook, but stand out in terms of academic rigor and student success.

College Raptor Inc., a college-matching platform, builds products to help students, parents and college enrollment managers resolve some of the biggest challenges in college planning.
