Saint Paul College has been ranked as the number 1 community college in the nation by Washington Monthly in 2010 and 2013, for student engagement, collaborative learning, faculty interaction, support for learning, and first-year retention rates. The ranking is based on data provided by the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and graduation data from the U.S. Department of Education.

“I am indebted to our faculty and staff for making this honorable achievement happen,” said Saint Paul College President Rassoul Dastmozd. “For over a century, Saint Paul College has emphasized the importance of teaching, supporting, and engaging our students in the learning process. This recognition validates what we have practiced since 1910.”
