U.S. News groups schools into 10 different ranking categories based on their academic missions. Within each category, the sum of weighted, normalized values across 15 indicators of academic quality determine each school's overall score, and by extension its overall rank.
The exclusive rankings will be published in the new "Best Colleges 2020" guidebook available on newsstands October 15 – as well as on usnews.com/colleges. The 2020 edition of the U.S. News Best Colleges guidebook offers comprehensive advice for high school students and their families researching college choices.
