Carroll University Ranked Among 2022's Best Colleges: U.S. News

WAUKESHA, WI—Carroll University was ranked among the top regional universities in the Midwest, according to U.S. News and World Report’s 2022 Best Colleges rankings.

• Best Value – #31
• Best Colleges for Veterans – #15
• Regional Universities Midwest – #13

"Every year, Carroll appears on lists of the best colleges and universities in the country based on the top tier faculty, programs and services we offer,” said Teege Mettille, vice president of enrollment in a statement. “We are proud to yet again be ranked among the top regional universities in the Midwest.”

U.S. News & World Report on Tuesday released its 2022 Best Colleges rankings, which evaluate more than 1,400 U.S. colleges and universities on 17 different academic measures.

The purpose of the list is to provide students and their families with the necessary tools to find the right college for them.

To rank colleges, U.S. News first places each school into a category based on its mission and, in some cases, its geographic location. National universities, which focus on research and offer several doctoral programs, are ranked separately from liberal arts colleges. In its regional rankings, U.S. News only compares universities and colleges with other schools in the same group and region.

Data for the 2022 edition of Best Colleges was gathered in the spring and early summer of this year. U.S. News gathered data on student retention, graduation rates, graduate indebtedness, financial resources, alumni giving and more. Colleges were then ranked based on their overall scores.
