Ƶ is ranked as one of the top universities in the nation in the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College 2019 Rankings (released in 2018).

The ranking is based on four categories: resources, engagement, outcomes, and environment. Editors selected these categories to address the “questions that matter the most when choosing a university.” In addition to nationally reported data from the university, the rankings also include student surveys.

Ƶ ranked in the top 20 percent of all institutions for engagement, which includes a measurement of student engagement, student recommendations, student interaction, and breadth of opportunities for involvement.

Ƶ also ranked highly in the environment category, which measured international students, student diversity, faculty diversity, and student inclusion.

Ƶ has been included in the Princeton Review's “Best Colleges” guidebook for almost two decades, has been ranked as a “socially responsible school” by Washington Monthly, and has been ranked highly by publications, including Military Times, as a “Best for Vets” university.
