SALISBURY, MD---ºÚÁÏÍø has been selected as a 2017-18 College of Distinction.

Salisbury was chosen for its continued commitment to the four distinctions, said founder Wes Creel. These include: engaged students, outstanding teaching, vibrant communities and successful outcomes. The Univeristy also earned Colleges of Distinction's Fields of Study badges in business, education and nursing, lauding them as "schools with first-rate programs and recognized accreditations in these fields."
