How it scores
Research and Alumni outcomes are percentiles among 3,144 universities; alumni outcomes are counted per student. Admissions & earnings is the position among universities in the same country (United States).
Note: It is outside the Leiden data: its research was measured from OpenAlex and calibrated to the Leiden scale (Amendment 18.3), then shrunk toward the median of small universities before scoring.
Admissions, outcomes and alumni
- Admit rate
- 9.3% src
- Average SAT
- 1,307 src
- Yield (admits who enrol)
- 85% src
- Graduate earnings 4 years after a bachelor’s vs the national median for the same subjects (College Scorecard by field) (not scored)
- – (the Department suppressed all of its recent earnings cells; it has no Georgetown ROI either, so earnings play no part in its in-country score)
- Graduation rate (6 years)
- 93% src
- Internationally notable alumni (Wikidata)
- 52 src
- Heads of state or government (Wikidata)
- 2 src
- Founders, billionaires and $30M+ alumni
- not on the published top lists; estimated
- Students (undergraduate headcount / total FTE excluding students enrolled only online, IPEDS)
- 4,465 / 4,465 src
Each figure links to its source. Admissions and earnings figures are comparable only within a country.
Research
This university isn’t in the CWTS Leiden Ranking Open Edition, which covers universities with about 1,500 or more publications in 2020–23, so it has no Research Index rank. Its research was measured from OpenAlex instead and put on the Leiden scale (method Amendment 18.3).
- Articles and reviews, 2020–23 (OpenAlex, counted 27–28 Oct 2026, full count)
- 905
- Of these, in the top 10% of their field
- 175 (19.3%)
- Of these, in the top 1% of their field
- 19 (2.1%)
- Top-10% share on the Leiden scale
- 8.8%
- Top-1% share on the Leiden scale
- 0.7%
OpenAlex counts every article and review with an author from the university or its units. Its top-10% and top-1% flags run higher than Leiden’s, so the shares are converted with a fit on 400 universities in both sources, then pulled toward the median of small universities before scoring, as for small universities in the Leiden data.
How other rankings place it
Other rankings are cited for comparison. The Research Index measures research only; QS and THE also use reputation surveys and figures universities submit, and ARWU counts prize winners and total output.
Prize winners
- Alumni laureates
- 2
- Staff laureates
- 0
Alumni: 2 Nobel. Most recent: Jimmy Carter (Nobel Peace, 2002), Albert Abraham Michelson (Nobel Physics, 1907). Counted from Wikidata (CC0). Alumni laureates count toward the overall ranking per student (10 of 65 global weight points); staff laureates are shown for context only.
