Oregon State University tops the Trojan Sexual Health Report Card for the first time in the history of the rankings, making an unprecedented jump from No. 26 to the No.

1 spot in the 2014 rankings.

The 9th annual study sponsored by the makers of Trojan Brand Condoms and conducted by Sperling's BestPlaces, calls attention to the state of sexual health on campuses nationwide by ranking them according to accessibility of sexual health resources and information available to students on campus.

After taking a dip in the 2013 rankings to No. 26, down from two consecutive years in the top 10, Oregon State University - made a significant comeback and nabbed the No.

1 spot, dethroning last year's leader, Princeton University. Princeton University finds itself at No. 13, dropping 12 spots since the 2013 rankings.

"Oregon State University has shown dedication to improving its resources and worked hard over the past year to get back into the top 10 and come out on top," said Bert Sperling, president of Sperling's BestPlaces.

"With high scores in condom availability, student health center hours of operation and the usability and quality of their sexual health website, the campus is a model for schools nationwide."

New Big Man on Campus
After years of an Ivy League and Big Ten Conference rivalry for the number one spot on the Report Card, the PAC-12 upset the status quo and dominated the rankings with three schools placing in the top 10. In addition to the aforementioned Oregon State University, the University of Arizona dropped one spot to finish at No. 4, while Stanford University made an impressive fifteen place jump, coming in at No.

5. The Ivy League and Big Ten Conferences tied for second, with two schools each placing in the top 10. The Big 12, ACC and Big East rounded out the top ten with one school each.

"The PAC-12 schools' rise into the top ten demonstrates how the annual rankings help to improve the availability of resources and information on sexual health on campuses nationwide," said Sperling.

"The outside focus and attention placed on these programs has prompted schools to develop stronger sexual health initiatives and increase students' access to resources."
