Thought I’d include the breakdown of the factors. I forgot to include Net Price but figured since the debt numbers are included there’s enough information about affordability.
Some interesting disparities. In case anyone was wondering, yes, Trinity is doing a good job sending kids into finance. They lead the NESCAC on the median earnings 9 years out factor, though there is a whole thread of conversation one can have about that measure. Also interesting that the rank order follows grad rate almost all the way through (exception being Midd ranked above two schools with a higher rate) notwithstanding differences of performance on the other scoring factors. Very interesting outcomes rankings.
Do with them what you wish. Please forgive any typos or transposition errors. I didn’t proof it.
I’m not sure I understand your post/questions. Do you mean Berea’s top ranking? I mean, they score high on access and affordability and have a solid service ranking.
Berea is a tution free college serving low income students from Appalachia. It’s a very strong and highly respected institution with excellent outcomes.
Agreed, and one of the reasons their earning benchmarks might be low is that many students might stay in the region (not one known for high salaries) after college. But it’s outstanding for promoting rigorous academics and upward mobility for its students.
Berea doesn’t get a lot of attention on CC in general, one big reason being the fact that students from upper-middle-class families would be ineligible for having too much money.
Washington Monthly seems to rank weighted heavily on affordability and community service/impact. Not surprising that a religious school with no tuition that focuses on driving different outcomes comes in first. In a ranking based on posters whose tags started with “I” ended in “c” and had a “Y” in the middle, I’d be ranked pretty high.
This and the low affordability and access rankings feeds the narrative that Trinity is a place where rich white kids follow in the family footsteps. Funny thing is, the only recent grads and current students/families I know from there are African American.
Still a fan of the school despite the hate here on CC. Liberal Arts plus liberal opportunities for in-semester internships? What’s not to like? Earnings outcomes are unsurprising.
Northeastern the way it outta be.
(Only very very very old Met fans will get this reference)
That’s the ranking we’ve seen before that doesn’t have room in their top 500 for Williams, Bowdoin or Bates but seems to have ranked every one else. Maybe those schools opted out or something. Without some such explanation, this ranking takes a bit of a credibility hit.
mm mm, them there stats
