Biola University is one of the nation’s 97 best colleges to work for, according to a survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
The results put Biola among 97 colleges in the nation — including just seven schools in California and eight schools in the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities — to make the list.
The results, released today, in The Chronicle’s sixth annual report on The Academic Workplace, recognized Biola as excelling in the following:
“The institutions that the Great Colleges program recognizes provide innovative educational experiences — while also offering their employees outstanding workplace experiences,” said Liz McMillen, The Chronicle’s editor.
More than 44,600 employees at 300 colleges and universities participated in the survey. Only 97 of the 300 institutions, including 76 four-year institutions, achieved “Great College to Work For” recognition.
The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback.
Results are reported for small, medium, and large institutions, with Biola University included among the 31 recognized medium universities with 3,000 to 9,999 students.
In 2012, in its first year participating in the survey, Biola was also recognized as one of 103 “Great Colleges to Work For and as an Honor Roll school — a distinction given to 10 institutions in each size cited most often across all of the recognition categories.
Great Colleges to Work For is one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country.

We are North Carolina Christian supporters of Biola University. It is wonderful to be have Biola highly regarded as a university to "work for". Faculty and support people regarded so highly sends a clear message to many people that Biola University has established high standards for education and Biblical principals.
