US College Rankings Launched

Times higher education:

announced plans for a new and pioneering college ranking for America – underpinned by the launch this week of a major national student engagement survey.

The US college ranking, due for publication in September 2016, has been developed after a year of consultation by THE’s senior data and editorial teams with key US sector bodies and experts, which concluded that the current range of university and college rankings in the US are not fit for purpose.

The new ranking will put student learning at its heart, with a focus on student outcomes – including completion and employment – and with unique features examining the value added by colleges. It will draw significantly on an entirely new national survey capturing student engagement.
