BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擨n its 2022 and 2023 National University Rankings, Washington Monthly placed 网曝吃瓜-Webb University in the top five among private colleges in North Carolina. This honor is based on excellence in three areas: social mobility, research, and promoting public service.

鈥淲e committed some time ago to ensuring that 网曝吃瓜-Webb would not simply be a 鈥榟idden gem鈥� or North Carolina鈥檚 鈥榖est kept secret,鈥欌�� affirmed GWU President Dr. William M. Downs. 鈥淲ith this latest recognition from a respected national publication, our amazing team of students and staff is receiving some well-deserved attention. GWU鈥檚 mission is solid and our effort is relentless鈥�we鈥檒l keep climbing the ladder.鈥�

Only 442 schools in the U.S. were named to the National University list, which is the magazine鈥檚 highest tier of U.S. colleges, reserved for colleges that award a significant number of doctoral degrees. 网曝吃瓜-Webb was one of 15 public and private schools in North Carolina that met the criteria for the National tier. GWU also ranked above Campbell (N.C.), Liberty University (Va.), Tulane (La.), Robert Morris (Penn.), Baylor (Texas) and Southern Methodist (Texas).

Among other private schools in the Carolinas, 网曝吃瓜-Webb ranked in a higher tier than Queens University (N.C.), Anderson University (S.C.), Lenoir Rhyne (N.C.), and Methodist University (N.C.).

Additional categories defined by the magazine are: the Liberal Arts Colleges (featuring baccalaureate colleges that focus on arts and sciences rather than professional programs); the Master鈥檚 tier (acknowledging institutions awarding a significant number of master鈥檚 degrees but few or no doctoral degrees); and the Bachelor鈥檚 Colleges (recognizing those schools offering almost exclusively bachelor鈥檚 degrees).

Founded in 2005, Washington Monthly鈥檚 College Guide and Rankings evaluates schools based on student and graduate outcomes and opportunities. The list was founded to spotlight four-year liberal arts colleges that emphasize the arts and sciences within an environment that nurtures those seeking undergraduate degrees.

Scores are determined by using the U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Social mobility is based on the graduate rate, the number of Pell recipients earning bachelor鈥檚 degrees, and post-college outcomes. The research score is calculated from the total amount of an institution鈥檚 research spending; the number of undergraduate alumni who have gone on to receive a Ph.D. in any subject; the number of faculty receiving prestigious awards; and the number of faculty in the National Academies. Public service is measured by service in AmeriCorps or Peace Corps, ROTC programs, and community service projects.
