The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Ranking focus on ranking universities and colleges based on graduate success and student learning. The rankings use 15 individual performance metrics, grouped into four pillars: resources, engagement, outcomes and environment. Approximately 20% of the rankings are derived from the annual Times Higher Education U.S. Student Survey, which includes data from more than 170,000 current U.S. students across all ranked colleges.
ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø provides students the freedom to explore their passions and interests with more than 100 majors and minors. With the launch of the Engaged Learning Program in 2017, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø students are able to actualize what every graduate of the University knows to be true — the best way to learn is by doing.
