US News lists Southeast among best regional universities

Southeast Missouri State University has been listed among the best regional universities in the Midwest in the 2014 edition of Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report.

Southeast, which has been consistently ranked by the publication since 1993, is the highest ranked moderately selective public university in Missouri on this list, according to a news release from the university.

Institutions categorized as regional universities offer a full range of undergraduate majors and master's degree programs but few doctoral programs, the release said.
