How We Rank
Our rankings are built entirely on publicly available data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics. Each institution is scored using a percentile-based system that evaluates metrics such as completion rates, retention, program size, affordability, financial aid, and campus diversity. Percentile scores are combined with transparent weights to produce a single composite score, ensuring every ranking is data-driven and reproducible.
