Baldwin-Wallace College once again has been highly rated in the U.S. News & World Report annual survey of America’s Best Colleges. This marks the 14th consecutive year that B-W has been listed among the top 15 regional colleges and universities in the Midwest. The colleges were rated in the areas of reputation, retention of students, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving. According to survey results, the College was ranked twelfth in the category of Regional Universities—Midwest."Great Schools, Great Prices"
In the category “Great Schools, Great Prices,” which attempts to assess exceptional value in higher education, Baldwin-Wallace was ranked seventh among Midwest regional colleges, the highest showing by an Ohio school.
And partially because of its consistently strong showing in this survey through the years, B-W was one of the schools that is featured in an accompanying U. S. News article about students and their families searching for just the right college.
“I think of external endorsements such as this as a tribute to the fine work being done by so many people throughout our campus community,” said President Richard Durst. “We are grateful for all those who work so tirelessly to provide the wonderful opportunities for learning and growth for our students and I am pleased when those efforts are recognized.”
The classification of each institution is determined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. B-W is deemed a “university” because of the breadth of its academic program and its graduate offerings. B-W’s twelfth place position was based
on high marks in the areas of reputation (determined by a survey of college presidents, academic deans and admission officers); student selectivity (applications and acceptances, combined with the average test scores and class standings of first-year students); retention (the percentage of first-year students who return for the second year); and the percentage of students who earn degrees within six years.
