I read earlier in this forum that CCAP ranked BC even higher, at #11. They used the type of student body and faculty factors as USR and then added in the success of the Alumni, how satisfied the alumni and current students were with their college experience, and the quality of the faculty and faculty review ratings from one of those ratings sites.

Ratings are based on stats, and good stats overall does not mean its the best fit for a more specific goal.

BU was 46 in this Forbes CCAP ranking, but has some outstanding programs.
