Quinnipiac ranked first among northern universities with master's degree programs as having made the most promising and innovative changes in academics, faculty, campus or facilities, according to the Aug. 26 special issue.
U.S. News also recognized Quinnipiac as being among the best universities providing a full range of undergraduate and master-level programs. Quinnipiac was ranked 13th among the northern universities offering master's degree programs.
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.
