Albertus Magnus College Again Achieves Ranking by Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education
College’s Diversity and Inclusion Applauded
New Haven, Conn., September 21, 2021 – Albertus Magnus College is yet again recognized by Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education 2022 College Rankings. This is the third year in a row for this acknowledgement among the prestigious
group of 796 institutions nationwide and 258 in the Northeast region selected for
inclusion.
The WSJ/THE designation is a pioneering ranking of US colleges and universities that
puts student success and learning at its heart. The survey includes clear performance
indicators designed to answer the questions that matter most to students and their
families including who to trust with their education and how likely is the individual
to graduate, pay off their debt, and get a good job. Student outcomes, engagement,
resources, and environment all contributed to Albertus Magnus’ inclusion on the list,
with the College receiving its strongest scores in the Environment category, which
focuses on diversity and inclusion.
“With the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education rankings focused on what matters
most to students and their families in these challenging times, Albertus’ inclusion
in this annual ranking is affirming of the ever-growing reputation of the College
and further reinforces the promise of a liberal arts-based education deeply rooted
in Dominican values,” said President Marc M. Camille, Ed.D., who has been leading
the College since 2017. “We’re proud that students choosing an Albertus education
continue to mirror the diversity of our nation, and our graduates are continuing to
do exceptionally well in finding that first job or going on to graduate programs.”
Earlier this month, US News & World Report’s 2022 college rankings named Albertus a Top 100 Regional University in the North and a top performer in
the Social Mobility category.
