College
Rankings
for
2018.
The WSJ/THE rankings, which combine 15 individual metrics, including "the voices of students drawn from an annual survey," were launched last year with the promise of providing rankings that reward colleges "for providing an enriching learning environment" instead of overemphasizing selectivity and wealth.
"Rather than using metrics that reward colleges for raising barriers to entry, Times Higher Education, in partnership with The Wall Street Journal, developed a ranking that recognizes the value of schools that knock those barriers down," writes Phil Baty, editorial director of THE's Global Rankings. "We created a ranking that rewards colleges for educating students better."
The methodology includes "pioneering value-added elements on graduate outcomes" and a survey of more than 100,000 students each year to "get to the heart of what great teaching actually is."
BW also currently appears on "Top College" lists published by Forbes, Money Magazine, The Princeton Review and U.S. News, just to name a few of the more prominent rankings.
