How we rank schools – graduation rate, graduate earnings, cost and retention. Advertising plays no part.

This page lists 10 schools within 23 miles, closest group first, then ordered by BOC Score with the highest at the top. 9 of them carry a score. 1 does not have enough federal outcome data to score, and appears last rather than being hidden.

Location / proximity to this page: Defines the local group
Graduation rate how often students finish: 30%
Median earnings, 10 years after entry whether it paid off: 25%
Average net price what students actually pay after aid; lower ranks higher: 20%
Retention rate how many come back for year two: 15%
Fully online availability whether you can study while working: 10%

Scores come from IPEDS (2024) and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard. Earnings are for all graduates of a school, not one program, so treat them as a signal about the institution rather than about this subject. Sponsored listings are paid placements and are labelled as such; they are separate from this ranking and never change it. Read the full methodology.
