Bradley named one of top Midwest schools

Bradley University, in part because of its "enhanced academic education," climbed one spot on the U.S. News & World Report's 2008 list of "America's Best Colleges," which was released today.

Bradley ranked sixth among about 70 Midwest regional universities that offer master's degrees, up from seventh last year. Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., ranked first in the category.
