College Rankings The process of ranking colleges and universities is quite an undertaking. It is important to consider the methodology of each of the ranking systems below when evaluating an institution. Kiplinger Financial offers insight on the best values in public colleges. In addition to the tool, the site offers information on how the selection were made here. The Princeton Review anually creates 62 rankings lists across 8 categories, based on feedback from more than 120,000 students across the country. Find the list based on what is important to you. US News and World Reports Updated annually, this site contains extensive information about colleges and universities in the United States, including selected undergraduate programs. The list is divided both by region and by category (National Universities, Liberal Arts Colleges, Regional Schools and Top Public Schools). Factors such as diversity, specialty schools/programs (ranked and non-ranked), and state-by-state results are ranked separately. |
Choosing the "Right" School There are such a wide variety of factors that go into choosing the best environment for each individual. While the question as to whether there is a "right" school for every student is debatable, there are some things you should consider as you begin to narrow the choices for a college. One major factor in the process is your major. Not all colleges offer all majors, check into whether the college you are considering offers the major of your choice. This could immediately eliminate a few from the list. Other factors when choosing a college are cost, size of the school, in-state or out-of-state, financial aid awards, and admissions policies. Also consider the questions below: What is the size of the school and what are the typical class sizes? Are Advanced Placement courses accepted? Are there internships available? Is the university accredited? Is the college on a quarter, trimester or semester system? What is the percentage of students who go on to graduate school? What is the 4-year graduation rate? What percentage of students stay past their freshman year? Are professors easily accessible to students? How selective is the admissions process? How does the university calculate high school grade point average for scholarships and admissions? What standardized test does the university prefer for freshmen admissions (ACT or SAT)? Are freshmen required to reside in the college dormitories?
