The National Research Center for College & University Admissions (NRCCUA), the leading organization connecting young people and their families with colleges and universities around the country, today released its annual rankings of the admissions Websites of more than 3,000 postsecondary institutions. The 9th annual Enrollment Power Index® (EPI), a research-based analysis, rates how well the functionality and design of college and university websites provide information to potential students to take them from prospect to applicant.</p>

<p>This year, Lawrence University in Appleton, WI has the highest-rated admissions website. Of the 3,087 postsecondary institutions whose sites were graded, less than 30% earned A or B grades. The top 10 rated schools were:</p>

<p>Lawrence University
Pennsylvania College of Technology
LeTourneau University
University of New England
Bellarmine University
Wayne State University
Gonzaga University
Saint Vincent College and Seminary
Lakeland College
Newberry College
