CEDARVILLE — Cedarville University has been ranked No. 4 in the College Consensus Rankings of best universities in the Midwest for 2018.

College Consensus averages rankings from publisher ratings and student reviews to determine its list of top universities. The publisher rating combines rankings from Forbes and U.S. News & World Report, while the student review is derived from student reviews collected by organizations such as Cappex and Unigo.

College Consensus considered multiple factors in its overall scoring method. These include the percentage of students admitted, four-year graduation rate, total number of students, student-to-faculty ratio, average amount of aid awarded to undergraduates, in-state tuition and fees and out-of-state tuition and fees.

According to the College Consensus website, “Cedarville offers students a world-class education experience within a vibrant and Christ-centered learning community.”

“As faculty and staff members at Cedarville, we are blessed to serve at an institution that has faithfully upheld its mission, consistently delivered quality in the classroom and intentionally equipped its graduates for career success and Gospel impact,” said Dr. Janice Supplee, vice president for marketing and communications.
