The University of Findlay has been ranked by U.S.News and World Report as a top-tier Midwest university for the seventh consecutive year. UF also, for the third consecutive year, was named to the “A+ Schools for B Students.”

The complete list of rankings, which include more than 1,600 schools nationwide, will appear in the September issue of the U.S.News and World Report magazine, and is currently available online at www.usnews.com/colleges.

The annual rankings, in which U.S.News groups schools based on categories created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, provide a resource for parents and students researching colleges and universities.

Schools are ranked based on key measures of quality including peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.

Using a proprietary methodology, the annual U.S.News and World Report rankings are developed to help consumers evaluate and compare data compiled from more than 1,600 accredited four-year schools.
