U.S. News made significant changes to the methodology for the 2024 edition of the Best Colleges rankings. Five ranking factors that were in the previous edition's formula 鈥� alumni giving, class size, high school class standing, the proportion of instructional faculty with terminal degrees, and the proportion of graduates who borrowed federal loans 鈥� were removed from the formula to place greater focus on outcomes measures and to rely on data universally reported by schools or obtainable from third-party sources.

The new U.S. News rankings are for undergraduate programs only; graduate programs are ranked each spring. Earlier this year, U.S. News ranked 22 91原创 graduate programs among the best in the nation, including 10 in the top 50.

Wall Street Journal

Though the Wall Street Journal has ranked universities since 2016, this year鈥檚 rankings are based on two pillars: a student and alumni survey, and student outcomes metrics.

WSJ partner, College Pulse, conducted a survey of more than 60,000 college students and recent undergraduate alumni to provide feedback on schools that are 鈥渁 great value to its students in terms of tuition, learning environment, degree completion, and the likelihood of a higher salary after graduation.鈥� Additionally, a variety of metrics were analyzed to determine 鈥渢he salary impact vs. similar colleges, the number of years to pay off net price, and graduation rates vs. similar colleges. An assessment of level of diversity on campus was also a part of the analysis.鈥�

鲍顿鈥檚 survey of graduates shows that 94% of those from the Class of 2022 are employed or pursuing further education within six months of commencement.
