The ranking highlights colleges and universities that meet high standards and provide quality outcomes to students. Some of the factors that make up the ranking include students-to-faculty ratio, graduation rates, student loan default rates and other quality metrics.
With Centre’s overall institutional aid totaling more than $35 million, the college’s focus on affordability is among the most generous of any top national college. Ninety percent of incoming first-year students receive aid.
