Ranking Methodology

The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Ranking is a pioneering ranking of US colleges and universities that puts student success and learning at its heart

The ranking includes clear performance indicators designed to answer the questions that matter most to students and their families when making one of the most important decisions of their lives – who to trust with their education Does the college have sufficient resources to teach me properly? Will I be engaged and challenged by my teacher and classmates? Does the college have a good academic

reputation? What type of campus community is there? How likely am I to graduate, pay off my debt and get a good job?

The ranking includes the results of the THE US Student Survey, which examines a range of key issues including students’ engagement with their studies, their interaction with their teachers and their

satisfaction with their experience

The ranking adopts a balanced scorecard approach, with 15 individual performance indicators

combining to create an overall score that reflects the broad strength of the institution
