The 2015 edition of Best Colleges includes data on nearly 1,800 schools nationwide. Eligible schools are ranked on up to 16 measures of academic excellence.
The college ranking categories are based upon the 2010 Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifications. The Carnegie classification system has been used by U.S. News since the first Best Colleges rankings in 1983, because they are accepted as the basis for classifying schools by most higher education researchers.
