Quinnipiac has once again been named among the nation's best universities providing a full range of undergraduate and master's level programs in the U.S. News & World Report's 2010 America's Best Colleges issue, the definitive guide for college-bound students.
Quinnipiac was ranked in the top 10 of northern universities offering a full range of undergraduate and master-level programs. Last year, Quinnipiac ranked 13th. In addition, Quinnipiac ranked second in the northern region in U.S. News' Up-and-Coming Schools category.
The U.S. News ranking system rests on two pillars. It relies on quantitative measures that education experts have proposed as reliable indicators of academic quality, and it is based on its nonpartisan view of what matters in education.
U.S. News gathers data from each college on up to 15 indicators of academic excellence. Each factor is assigned a weight that reflects the magazine's judgment about how much a measure matters. Finally, the colleges in each category are ranked against their peers, based on their composite weighted score.
In its methodology, U.S. News considers academic reputation, retention, student-to-faculty ratios, student selectivity and alumni giving rate, among other factors.
