The WSJ rated the top 400 universities in the US in collaboration with College Pulse and Statista. This study was done a bit differently than the recent Princeton Reviews Best 389 Colleges in the US, whih Iona also made their list. In this study they measured outcomes, not inputs. So students SAT scores or high school class rankings did not account for much. The WSJ Study no longer rewards colleges’ wealth or reputation in and of themselves. Gone is the survey of academics on schools’ reputations. Gone are the rewards for instructional spending and the assumption that the quality of education is largely dictated by how expensive it is to produce. Also removed from the study was the number of Starbucks of 5 Star accommodations for the students. The new ranking system puts more emphasis on the importance of student outcomes: graduation rates and graduate salaries. Critically, WSJ puts greater emphasis on measuring the value added by colleges—not simply measuring their students’ success, but focusing on the contribution the college makes to that success. WSJ now estimates how well their students would do regardless of which college they attended, taking into account the factors that best predict student outcomes. The colleges are rewarded for their students’ success over and above that estimate. These scores are combined with raw graduation rates and graduate salaries. In other words, success in absolute terms is still taken into account, but with the value added given greater emphasis than previously. This method provides prospective students with a better tool as the WSJ believes it will help students identify which colleges will do the most to help them graduate and make more money.
