U.S. News considers a host of factors in compiling its rankings each year. Weighted most heavily are graduation and retention rates, undergraduate academic reputation and resources provided to faculty. Overall, more than 50% of the ranking is determined by factors relating to social mobility, graduation and retention rates, graduate indebtedness, graduate earnings compared with earnings of high school graduates, and graduation rate performance, U.S. News said.
Only accredited institutions with four-year bachelor’s degree-granting campus-based programs are surveyed and listed in the rankings.
