Otterbein Ranked 15th in U.S. News And World Report's 2008 "Guide to America's Best Colleges"
In the 2008 edition of U.S. News and World Report's “America’s Best Colleges,” Otterbein College earned the ninth highest peer assessment (academic reputation) score in the Universities–Master's (Midwest) category. Otterbein earned the 15th highest overall score among its 140 peers.
According to the guide, institutions in the Universities–Master's category provide a full range of undergraduate and master's programs while offering few, if any, doctoral programs. Otterbein is new to this category, making the move from last year's “Comprehensive Colleges” category, where it consistently ranked in the top 10.
Otterbein competed with 140 colleges from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri for this honor. The rankings are based on 15 measures of “academic excellence,” which fall into seven categories, peer assessment being the most important. Other ranking categories include retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation rate performances and alumni giving rates.
