| The US News College Rankings are the most recognized and popular of all college rankings. The report evaluates colleges and universities annually by assessing criteria such as peer assessment, graduation rate, student/faculty ratios, class size and student testing scores. Dr. Robert Badal, President at Jamestown, is pleased that improvements at the College are being noticed more widely, "We believe strongly that our success as an institution is based primarily upon the success of our students and graduates, but external recognition is, in one sense, icing on the cake." |
