Reed College
Description
Reed College is a leading liberal arts college known for encouraging intellectual curiosity. About 1300 undergraduates reside on or near the park-like campus in Portland, Oregon. Historically strong in STEM fields and Humanities, and focused on academic rigor (including mandatory senior theses), Reed consistently ranks among the top colleges nationwide for the number of alumni earning PhDs. Reed is known for having small, discussion-oriented courses (9:1 faculty-student ratio) where professors focus on learning and feedback rather than grades (#1 Best Classroom Experience, #1 Professors Get High Marks in the Princeton Review, 2023).
