澳门六合彩开奖结果 is ranked among the top 10 small colleges in the Midwest in the recently released聽Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education聽College Rankings.
The rankings are divided into categories of small schools (undergraduate enrollment of fewer than 3,000 students), midsize schools (3,000 to 10,000 undergraduates), and large schools (more than 10,000 undergraduates).
Lawrence, with an enrollment of about 1,500, placed 10th among small schools and is the only Wisconsin school to earn a top-10 designation in the small-school category. It drew particularly high marks for academic resources, including access to faculty courtesy of small class sizes.
鈥淚鈥檓 happy鈥攁nd not surprised鈥攖o see that this particular ranking has zeroed in on the strength of the experience our students have had while they鈥檙e here, especially how our students are surrounded by exceptional classmates who inspire and motivate them,鈥 said Ken Anselment, vice president for enrollment. 鈥淚t speaks to the transformative nature not just of the education we provide, but the culture we create.鈥
The WSJ/THE ranking is based on 15 factors across four main categories: Forty percent of each school鈥檚 overall score comes from student outcomes, including measures of graduate salaries and debt burdens; 30% from the school鈥檚 academic resources, including how much it spends on teaching; 20% from how well it engages its students; and 10% from its environment, a measure of student and faculty diversity.
Lawrence, which is celebrating the 175th anniversary of its founding, has long used its small size as a strength. Its 8-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio is among the lowest in the country, allowing students to forge productive partnerships with professors in the classroom, in research pursuits, and in music, theater, and dance performance spaces. The school鈥檚 college of arts and sciences and its conservatory of music are consistently ranked among the best in the country.
