UF Ranks in Top Tier of 'America's Best Colleges'
Friday, August 21, 2009
The University of Findlay has been ranked by U.S.News and World Report as a top-tier Midwest university.
The complete list of rankings, which include more than 1,400 schools nationwide, will appear in the September issue of the U.S.News and World Report magazine, and is currently available online at www.usnews.com/colleges.
“The University of Findlay is excited to once again be named a top tier university by U.S.News and World Report,” said Donna Gruber, director of undergraduate admissions at UF. “The University of Findlay helps its graduates to become creative thinkers and productive citizens by offering one-on-one faculty mentoring, hands-on experience, innovative academic programs and commitment to service-learning.”
The annual rankings, in which U.S.News groups schools based on categories created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, provide a resource for parents and students researching colleges and universities.
Schools are ranked based on key measures of quality including peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.
Using a proprietary methodology, the annual U.S.News and World Report rankings are developed to help consumers evaluate and compare data compiled from more than 1,400 accredited four-year schools.
