BIDDEFORD - The University of New England's website, www.une.edu, has been recognized by the National Research Center for College & University Admissions (NRCCUA) as the fourth most highly rated in the country in its analysis of more than 3,000 post-secondary institutions' sites.

The study graded the sites for each institution on a 100-point scale. University of New England was one of only 140 institutions that received an "A" out of the total 3,087 graded.

An email survey to more than 100,000 college-bound high school students helped rate the sites, and more than 3,000 sites were evaluated.
