How to Read These Rankings

Liberal Arts Colleges: Covers U.S. liberal arts colleges devoted primarily to undergraduate education, using a similar factor mix to the National Universities ranking (graduation and retention, faculty resources, reputation) but no research-volume measures. These colleges are small, with small classes and teaching-focused faculty — a good fit for students who value discussion-based learning and a broad undergraduate education.
