ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ is also ranked as the 80th best southern regional university, including private schools \u2013&nbsp;second best in the state. These rankings are an improvement for the second year in a row. Last year, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ ranked 38th and 84th, respectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am pleased to see continued improvement among the rankings in the U.S. News &amp; World Report College Rankings. Their formula places an emphasis on the education, retention and graduation of students, and so do we,\u201d said ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ President Dr. Jay Clune. \u201cWhile these rankings do not define us, they are a public assessment of our improvement as an institution and impact on the Bayou Region.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. News &amp; World Report defines a regional university as one that offers many undergraduate degrees, some master\u2019s degrees but few doctoral programs. A public university is one that operates under the supervision of a state government and is funded in part by tax dollars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate each school\u2019s ranking, U.S. News &amp; World Report studied graduation rates, retention rates, social mobility, academic reputation, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving rate. This year, that calculation also measured student debt and increased the weight of scores factoring student outcomes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the data is analyzed, each school is then broken up into national universities and regional universities, and the top 75 percent in each category is published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the second year in a row, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ has also ranked among the top southern regional universities in the South for social mobility. This year, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ ranked No. 104. Social mobility is calculated by comparing each university&#8217;s Pell Grant recipient graduation rates with the graduation rates of their peers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. News &amp; World Report is a digital news and information company that empowers people to make better, more informed decisions about important issues affecting their lives.
