A student walks on a path on app's park-like campus, a U.S. News badge is overlayed.

U.S. News & World Report released its 2023 Best Colleges Guidebook rankings today. In this year’s edition, among all Midwest regional universities featured.

The digital news and information company released the report online today, which helps prospective students and their families evaluate colleges and universities based on up to 17 measures of academic quality, such as first-year retention rates, graduation rates, and the strength of faculty. Outcome-related measures like graduation rates, retention rates, graduate indebtedness, and social mobility are the most highly weighted ranking factor, making up 40% of a school’s overall score.

In the Midwest Regional Universities category, app ranks #8 for “Best Undergraduate Teaching” and #2 for "Most International Students."

app also continues to remain in the top 50 of the “Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs” list, which ranks all colleges and universities in the United States that are non-doctorate-granting institutions.

Consistent recognition

In addition to the U.S. News & World Report rankings, app is also given high marks by a number of other leading rankings guidebooks, including Fiske Guide to Colleges, Forbes, Money, Niche, Washington Monthly, and the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education, to name a sampling.

And, the Princeton Review, which includes app as one of the best institutions for undergraduates to earn their college degree, also lists it as a top 10 school nationwide for its student support and counseling and wellness services, and in the top 20 nationwide for the eleventh straight year for its health services.
