Rankings
Every ranking we publish.
EduGradify rankings answer which US colleges deliver the strongest value for the price: highest ROI, lowest net price, strongest graduate earnings, selectivity and program-level state lists. Each list is computed from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data, not surveys or paid placements.
How to use these rankings
Start with ROI when you want the strongest earnings-to-price signal, use cheapest lists when affordability is the first filter, and use state or major lists when location or field matters more than a national leaderboard.
Source transparency: net price, earnings, admissions and graduation figures come from federal College Scorecard data. Our methodology explains the value grade and why missing data can exclude a school from a specific list.
