CLARKSVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
Austin Peay State University is one of the best college in the nation to work for, according to a new survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
In addition, APSU was the only university in the Tennessee to make the list of 103 colleges.
The results, released today in The Chronicle's fifth annual report on The Academic Workplace, are based on a survey of more than 46,000 employees at 294 colleges and universities with 10,000 or more students.
APSU won honors in five categories this year: Collaborative Governance, Professional/Career Development Programs, Teaching Environment, Confidence in Senior Leadership and Tenure Clarity and Process.
Because APSU was recognized in several honor categories, APSU will receive Honor Roll recognition.
"This is a very satisfying affirmation of APSU, but our real goal is not recognition – it's being a community that values the needs and contributions of every individual. In that sense everyone at APSU helps to make this a great place to work," APSU President Tim Hall said.
"The institutions that the Great Colleges program recognizes provide innovative educational experiences – while also offering their employees outstanding workplace experiences – and we are eager to help readers learn more about them," said Liz McMillen, The Chronicle's editor.
