Toccoa Falls, Ga. (October 7, 2024) – The U.S. News & World Report released the 2025 Best Colleges, and TFC earned multiple recognitions on the badge-eligible list because of its high rankings. In higher education, U.S. News badges are widely recognized as symbols of excellence that are awarded by an unbiased trust agent. Toccoa Falls College is excited to announce the distinctions in the following categories: 

Best Colleges | Regional Colleges (South)

Best Colleges | Social Mobility

Best Colleges | Best Value Schools (South)

Best Colleges | Best Online Bachelor’s

Toccoa Falls College was ranked among the Best Regional Colleges in the South. This ranking was based on a wide range of factors, including graduation and retention rate, faculty resources, alumni giving, financial resources per student, student selectivity, social mobility, and third-party expert opinions.

Out of 97 schools, TFC ranked #11 in Social Mobility, emerging as one of the top performers in the United States. Social mobility measures the graduation outcomes of economically disadvantaged students who receive the Federal Pell Grant. This means that TFC is successful at enrolling and graduating large proportions of these students.

In addition to this, TFC ranked among the Best Value Schools in the South. Toccoa Falls College is proud to offer and equip all students with financial aid resources during the admissions process as well as during their time at the Christian College of Georgia. TFC is established as an affordable education option because 100% of on-campus students receive financial aid.

Best Colleges Online recognitions were released earlier this year as well. This award was based on opportunities for online students to readily engage with their instructor and classmates, diverse online learning services and technologies for distance education, faculty credentials and training, and peer assessment. 

Toccoa Falls College celebrates these recognitions by the U.S. News & World Report in addition to another new year of record-breaking enrollment. Excellence like this is possible because of faculty, staff, students, partners, and leaders who have committed to TFC’s missions of developing Godly character with intellect.
