WHAT SETS US APART

For all Schools.com rankings, unique, proprietary methodologies are based on data gathered from government agencies and other nationally recognized primary sources, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and, its data collection program, the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), and the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard.

Metrics weighed in state or program rankings are chosen specifically based on the typical needs of students who are returning back to school for a career change, completing a degree, or who are fresh out of high school, and include:

Affordability, such as cost for tuition and fees, amount of financial aid offerings, and average debt repayment

Graduation and retention rates, as well as program availability

Flexibility, such as the amount of distance education options available and student services offered
