St. Thomas Aquinas College is proud to be ranked among the Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report for 2022, along with ranking as a top performer in Social Mobility for the third year in a row. Institutions are ranked according to their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence. These statistics aid as deciding factors for students when applying to colleges and universities.
U.S. News & World Report gathers data on each institution in 17 areas related to academic excellence, and benchmarks each school’s performance across different ranking indicators. Many of the latest statistics used in calculations include student-faculty ratio, the average federal loan debt of graduates, application requirements, tuition and financial aid policies, student body demographics, and campus life.
“Social Mobility” is measured by the percentage of students who graduated from an institution and received federal Pell Grants (those typically from households with low family incomes.)
STAC President Ken Daly commented, “We are delighted to receive this recognition from U.S. News & World Report as one of the best colleges for the social mobility of our students. Given the social justice issues that our students are currently facing in their communities, there has never been a more important time to support these vulnerable students and provide them with the guidance and mentoring they need to succeed in college, careers, and life.”
