College Consensus, a new online aggregator of college-review guides, has ranked 91����� Aquinas College No. 18 on its list of 50 , schools whose methods �are worth imitating, emulating, and spreading far and wide.� The College is the only Catholic institution to be included on the list.

�While other schools seek recognition as the most innovative colleges in America, 91����� Aquinas innovates by looking to tradition,� the guide observes. �The Liberating Education curriculum is based in the oldest academic traditions: study of the Great Books, and discussion in the Socratic Method. A fully integrated approach makes 91����� Aquinas one of the best hands-on learning colleges in the U.S.; there are no lectures, only discussion, laboratory study, and engaged, experiential learning in everything from mathematics to translation.�

The term �underrated college,� College Consensus explains, is not meant to imply that an institution receives low marks or suffers from a poor reputation.  Rather, �underrated� institutions are �not state flagships or household names,� even though they make �a big impact on students and communities.� 91����� Aquinas Colleges, the guide continues, �has earned a national reputation for excellence and independence.� In May, the site named it one of the Top 10 Catholic Colleges in the U.S.
