- Stanford University

The methodology was also used to evaluate the top schools in the following categories: Resources (#1: Harvard University), Student Outcomes (#1: Yale University), Engagement (#1: Dordt College), Environment (#1: La Sierra University).
The full list is published as a special report in today’s issue of The Wall Street Journal and available at: http://www.wsj.com/collegerankings. The report features in-depth analysis of the survey findings, including insights on the list’s biggest surprises, which campuses have the most diversity, and how corporate recruiters decide which schools to visit for on-site interviews. The online report also features interactive graphics and tools to allow readers to compare and contrast results at specific schools.
“We designed the rankings to evaluate colleges the same way parents and prospective students do,” said Dave Pettit, Editor of Specialized News Products, The Wall Street Journal. “We place an emphasis on financial considerations, including the resources colleges put into instruction and colleges' success in positioning their graduates to earn a good salary. We also look at schools' success in teaching and engaging students, and the diversity of the colleges' communities. Our goal is to provide insights parents and students can use in making this critical life decision.”
