by our College Data Analytics TeamEach year, College Factual releases its Best Quality Schools ranking to identify graduate schools that offer a great educational experience and provide excellent student outcomes. Our methodology places a high weight on things such as post-graduation wages, time to graduate, and student-per-faculty ratio.
