The University of Michigan-Flint has received 12 top 25 rankings from University HQ. This leading independent online education organization provides students with resources for researching top-ranked colleges and universities, scholarships and career information.
UHQ uses data from several sources to aggregate its rankings, including College Navigator, College Scorecard, The Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Payscale. From there, UHQ considers several factors, including cost of tuition, acceptance rate, retention rate, graduation rate (four-year, six-year and overall), graduating salary (ROI), number of programs offered, online programs offered, loan default rate, diplomas awarded, percentage of students receiving financial aid and reputation and expert opinion.
UM-Flint's top 25 rankings include:
"Our goal is to present a fact-based picture of the colleges we rank," said Julia Griebel, UHQ marketing. "This is so we can help students make their best college decisions. Figures like admission rates can help students with reasonable expectations for admission, and retention rates can help them envision how their fellow students value the education they receive.
"Ultimately, we strive to present an objective and unbiased view of colleges so that students can set reasonable expectations, discover outstanding schools, and embark on a path toward their best lives. We apply our methodology evenly and consistently so students can trust that each ranking is meaningful."
