The 2024 recognition marks the fifth time the university has been awarded, in addition to 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

This year, in five categories:

The results, released in a special insert of The Chronicle of Higher Education, are based on a survey of 216 colleges and universities.

Results are reported for small, medium, and large institutions, with Ƶ included among the medium universities.
2024 Recognition Areas
The Great Colleges to Work For® program is one of the largest and most respected workplace recognition programs in the country. All of the program analysis was conducted by ModernThink, an organizational development firm with particular survey and “Best Place to Work” expertise.
The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institution questionnaire that captured employment data and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators, and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was employee feedback.
