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 2008 America’s Best Colleges issue, the definitive guide for college-bound students. This is the twelfth consecutive year U.S. News has named Quinnipiac as one of the best universities in the country.

Quinnipiac ranked 12th in the northern universities master’s region, according to the special issue, which hits newsstands on Monday, Aug. 20.

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.

We evaluated them based on institutional data we collect about the schools, feedback from students attending them and our visits to schools over the years. We also consider the opinions of independent college counselors, students, and parents we hear from year-long.  Finally, we work to have a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity and character."
