The Class of 2027 and new transfer students settled into campus and began making connections with classmates, returning students, faculty and staff during Orientation Weekend 2023.
The College was ranked #70 out of 204 liberal arts colleges nationally, up from #76 last year. Changes in the methodology that increased the consideration of outcomes were partly responsible for the bump.
The College is #112 on a list of the nation’s top 400 public and private institutions. The goal of these rankings, per the WSJ, is to help students “identify which colleges will do the most to help them graduate and make more money.”
The College is included in the publication’s College Access Index, a list of the country’s 286 most selective colleges and universities ranked in order of economic diversity, and President Kathleen Harring was interviewed for an accompanying newsletter.
The publication judges institutions based on their contribution to the public good. The College ranked in the top quarter of liberal arts colleges in the nation and the top quarter of all northeast institutions for value.
