All three Rutgers University campuses, Montclair State University and Rowan University have made U.S. News & World Report’s 2021 list of best colleges.
“The 2021 edition provides data on more than 1,800 colleges and universities, with rankings for more than 1,400 institutions,” writes Josh Moody. “Schools reported most of the data used to compile these rankings to U.S. News in an annual survey and were instructed to confirm the accuracy of their data. The rankings data pertains to student and faculty cohorts that predate the coronavirus pandemic, and thus the impact of COVID-19 on higher education is not reflected in how schools performed overall.”
