U.S. News defines a baccalaureate college as one that focuses their instruction on baccalaureate degrees but awards less than half of those degrees in liberal arts fields. New York's Cooper Union earns the top spot as Best Baccalaureate College in the North, while Ouachita Baptist University takes the same honor in the South. Taylor University is ranked as the Best Baccalaureate College in the Midwest, and the United States Air Force Academy earns top honors in the West. The Princeton Review, however, holds a slightly different view of these four colleges, placing Cooper Union, Taylor and the Air Force Academy on their regional lists of Best Colleges, but not ranking Ouachita Baptist in any categories.
