DePauw Stories

Money magazine has ranked DePauw University among the best colleges in the nation, based on 24 measures of quality, affordability and outcomes.

DePauw was ranked No. 93 out of 671 institutions of all sizes that were listed in the magazine’s 2022 Best Colleges publication, published this week. Money originally evaluated 2,400 institutions to whittle the ranked list to 671.

The magazine based its quality measure on graduation rates. For the affordability measure, it weighed the net price of a degree, student and parent borrowing and loan repayment rates. For outcomes, the magazine considered median earnings, the share of alumni working and the share of alumni earning more than a high school grad.
