Tusculum ranked an impressive 7<sup>th<\/sup> among the 36 Tennessee-based schools included. Overall, Tusculum College was ranked in the 57<sup>th<\/sup> percentile\u2014meaning it was ranked ahead of 57 percent of the 1267 American colleges and universities included in the rankings.<\/p>\n<p>The Economist rankings are based on the premise that the economic value of a college or university is equal to the gap between how much money its students subsequently earn, and how much they might have made had they studied elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTusculum College offers a solid education and foundation for a career that will pay dividends for years to come. Our students are both prepared for graduate programs and the workforce and that is reflected in The Economist\u2019s rankings,\u201d said Dr. Nancy B. Moody, president of Tusculum College.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are so many considerations when choosing a college home,\u2019 said LeAnn Hughes, vice president of enrollment management and marketing and director of the Graduate and Professional Studies program at Tusculum College. \u201cConsidering value is a critical component. When you choose Tusculum College, it is an investment you make in the rest of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hughes added that many recent graduates have gone on to very promising careers at places such as PriceWaterhouseCooper, Presbyterian College and Mountain States Health Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the very beginning students at Tusculum are supported by our robust Career Services Office,\u201d said Hughes. \u201cThrough the Pioneer Certified program students gain valuable experience related to job hunting, portfolio development, interviewing, networking, internships, meal etiquette, job shadowing, career fairs and professionalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Using a comprehensive statistical formula, schools are ranked according to how much each school adds to (or subtracts from) its graduates earning potential, relative to other colleges and universities. According to\u00a0<em>The Economist<\/em>\u2018s criteria, Tusculum College graduates earn, on average, $534 more per year than they would if they had attended another college or university.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Tusculum\u2019s programs, contact an enrollment representative at
