Georgia’s colleges hardly moved in U.S. News & World Report’s latest college rankings, scheduled to be released Thursday.
The magazine’s popular and sometimes controversial report ranks colleges using several factors including reputation, class size, retention and graduation rates, alumni giving and resources for faculty.
How colleges did:
● Emory University ranked 17 among national public and private universities, tying with Rice and Vanderbilt universities. Last year, Emory was 18th in this category.
● Georgia Tech came in at No. 7 among public universities — the same spot it held for the previous two years — and tied with University of California at San Diego. Among national private and public universities, Tech ranked 35th, tying with Lehigh University and the University of Rochester.
