BUIES CREEK — U.S. News & World Report has once again ranked Campbell University among the top regional universities in the South.
In the new “Best Colleges” report released Tuesday, U.S. News ranked more than 620 regional universities that offer a full range of bachelor’s and master’s programs, as well as a few doctoral programs, against their peer groups in four geographic regions—North, South, Midwest and West.
Campbell tied with Western Kentucky University to rank 31 out of 126 institutions in the South.
The rankings are based on factors such as financial resources, graduation rate performance, alumni giving rate, student selectivity, student retention, faculty resources and undergraduate academic reputation. In all, 1,365 college and universities were ranked across four categories.
