by our College Data Analytics TeamCollege Factual began publishing its yearly rankings to help students identify graduate schools that put a high emphasis on educational quality as well as helping students succeed. Factors that go into these rankings include how much money students make after graduation, the number of FTE students per instructor, and how much debt students take on to attend the school.

This rank is quite an honor since it puts the school in the Top 10% of the country for overall quality. As a result, DU is a recipient of this year's Best Master's Schools badge.
