OVERALL SCORE: Overall score represents the combined score of our three metrics-social mobility, research, and service-with each metric being
weighted equally.
SOCIAL MOBILITY: The first column ranks the college by the percentage of all students graduating within eight years, and the second column ranks based
on the predicted rate of graduation (based on incoming ACT/SAT scores, Pell Grant percentages, and other measures; see our full methodology on page 120).
The third column ranks colleges based on the difference in six-year graduation rates between Pell Grant recipients and those who did not receive a Pell Grant.
The fourth column lists the number of Pell Grant recipients who graduated with a bachelor's degree. The fifth column ranks the difference between the actual
and predicted percentages of Pell Grant recipients based on ACT/SAT scores, the percentage of students admitted, and the state's family income distribution.
The sixth column ranks colleges based on their former students' versus predicted earnings 10 years after college entry. The seventh column ranks by the
net price of attending that institution, or the average price that first-time, full-time students who have a family income below $75,000 per year and receive
financial aid pay for college after subtracting grants and scholarships. The final two columns rank colleges based on the actual and predicted performance of
the percentage of loans that students and their parents repaid within five years of entering repayment.
RESEARCH: The first column ranks total research expenditures. The second shows the college's ranking in the number of bachelor's recipients who go on
to receive PhDs, relative to college size. The third ranks the college by the number of science and engineering PhDs awarded. The fourth column shows the
college's ranking by the number of faculty receiving prestigious awards and the number of faculty who are members of the National Academies, relative to
the number of full-time faculty.
SERVICE: The first column ranks the college by the number of alumni who go on to serve in the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps, relative to college size, as well
as whether colleges match Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards. The second column ranks the college by the percentage of students who serve in ROTC. The
third is the percentage of funds in federal work-study money that go to community service (versus non-community service). The fourth category indicates
whether the school received the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification, which is a measure of community involvement. The fifth category includes
measures of a college's voting engagement, and colleges can score between zero and six points in this category. The final category is the share of degrees
awarded in health, education, and social work majors.
