Goshen College ranked best in Indiana and top 15 nationally according to Washington Monthly
Washington Monthly magazine recently ranked Goshen College the top bachelor’s college in Indiana for the sixth year in a row and 11th nationally in their 2022 annual college rankings. Their ranking takes into consideration civic engagement, research and social mobility.
About 250 colleges are included in the bachelor’s college rankings, defined by “institutions that award almost exclusively bachelor’s degrees.”
“The Washington Monthly rankings continue to show Goshen College is dedicated to educating students to thrive in life, leadership and service,” said Goshen College President Rebecca Stoltzfus.
Washington Monthly gave high marks to Goshen College in several areas, including ranking the college fifth in research, which takes into account the percentage of students who go on to earn a Ph.D.; and eighth for graduation rate.
Goshen College’s Washington Monthly rankings:
- #11 Best Bachelor’s College (national bachelor’s colleges)
- #5 research rank (national bachelor’s colleges)
- #5 bachelor’s degree to PhD rank (national bachelor’s colleges)
- #6 loan repayment rate performance (national bachelor’s colleges)
- #8 for 8-year graduation rate (national bachelor’s colleges)
The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education defines bachelor’s colleges as institutions where “bachelor’s degrees accounted for at least 10 percent of all undergraduate degrees and they awarded fewer than 50 master’s degrees.”
With very different criteria than other well-known college rankings, Washington Monthly highlights colleges whose students, faculty and alumni provide “contributions to public good.”
