Abilene Christian University continues to be one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to the latest survey by the Great Colleges to Work For program. This year marks the 16th time ACU has been recognized in the last 17 years.
The 2025 Great Colleges to Work For results were announced Sept. 19 at GreatCollegesList.com and in a special insert of the The Chronicle of Higher Education. The selections are based on an annual survey of administrators, faculty members and professional support staff at colleges and universities in the U.S. who are asked to evaluate their employer on various qualities and characteristics. In 2025, 199 institutions participated, and 76 were recognized as a Great College to Work For.
ACU was specifically honored for achievements in four categories:
- Job Satisfaction and Support
- Professional Development
- Supervisor/Department Chair Effectiveness
- Faculty and Staff Well-being
“The Great Colleges to Work For survey and recognition is an important tool to ensure we are meeting high standards of excellence in workplace culture and employee well-being,” said Dr. Phil Schubert, ACU president. “Our administration and Board of Trustees recognize that ACU’s staff and faculty are at the heart of our mission, and we’re committed to supporting and honoring them.”
