Aquinas College continues to be recognized as a "Best Values" college, according to rankings released by U.S. News and World Report. The College is positioned again on the prestigious "Best Values" list for 2003 as compiled by U.S. News and World Report in its Annual College Survey Rankings. Aquinas is listed among the Tier Two institutions in the Universities-Masters (Midwest) category.

Each year, U.S. News and World Report conducts an exhaustive survey of colleges and universities across the United States. An analysis of survey responses results in detailed rankings, based on several qualifying factors, which are published in a special edition each fall. The list is designed to provide parents and students with a source of objective information to help them decide which school best fits their educational needs.

While the U.S. News and World Report Annual College Survey provides valuable information about higher education institutions, administrators would agree that it is not designed to replace conversations with counselors or faculty nor intended to replace a personal school visit.
