For the second year in a row, Portland State University's community-based learning curriculum is among the best in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges 2004." Portland State is featured under the section "Choosing a School: Programs to look for" in three categories: Senior Capstone, Learning Communities, and Service Learning, alongside schools such as Brown, Harvard, Princeton, Reed, Stanford, Duke, and Yale. PSU and Reed College are the only higher-education institutions, public or private, in Oregon noted in the "Programs to look for" section.

PSU is also listed in the first edition of the Princeton Review's Best Western Colleges, a new guidebook that showcases the top 121 schools in 15 western states. Reviews are based on a 70-question survey completed by current students. The "survey says" section of PSU's profile echoes themes consistent in PSU's own on-campus surveys--class sizes are small, students love Portland, and diverse students interact.
