“We
publish a variety of college rankings to get students and parents focused on
key factors the need to consider when choosing a school,” said Bill Phelan, CEO
of College Factual. “How long it will take you to graduate? Four or six years?
What will your expected earnings be, and how does that compare? What’s the risk
of student loan default? These are tough questions any prospective student
should be asking and we highlight these factors throughout our ranking
process.”
With a focus on providing sought-after data and unique decision-making tools, College Factual puts the college rankings process in the hands of students and parents and not those institutions or national
publications.
College Factual’s ranking system is based on a series of
algorithms that include information from the Department of Education,
nationally mandated data reporting for institutions and Payscale.
