by our College Data Analytics TeamIt's not easy to decide which college to attend when there are so many options available for student athletes. College Factual has developed its Best Colleges for Division II Women's Basketball in Minnesota ranking as one item you can use to help make this decision.
Our analysis looked at 7 schools in Minnesota to determine which ones were the best for D2 Women's Basketball athletes in Minnesota. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall quality and the athletic competitiveness of the school. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another. So, even if a school has a great team, it won't place well if it is also considered a low quality college or university.
We know that one set of rankings doesn't always help you determine the best school for you, so we've created the ability to narrow your list by location as well as alternative rankings that prioritize different factors such as those of importance to online students or returning adults or those who value diversity and value for your money.
