U.S. News, which published the rankings in its annual “Best Colleges” report, bases its findings on several key measures of quality, including graduation rate, alumni giving, financial resources and student selectivity for entering classes.
The report defines master’s degree institutions as those universities granting baccalaureate and master’s degrees but with no or few doctoral programs. The rankings are further broken down by region, North, West, South and Midwest.
