Trinity University Ranked No. 1 for 11th Straight Year in U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges”

Sept. 13, 2002 – For the 11th consecutive year U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges” guide has ranked Trinity University No.1 among colleges and universities that offer a full range of undergraduate and master’s level programs in the Western part of United States. Trinity also topped the magazine’s “Great Schools at Great Prices” list as the best value in the West, a ranking the University has received for the fifth consecutive year. “Trinity’s superb faculty and staff work hard to provide students with a rigorous and vibrant learning environment, enabling them to realize all that their vast potential will allow,” said Trinity President John R. Brazil. “We also work hard to ensure that a Trinity education is possible for all who possess the ability and talent to benefit from it, not just those who have the ability to pay for it.  While the rankings are in themselves no sure measure of a University’s success, it is gratifying that Trinity continues to attract such favorable attention to the San Antonio community.” U.S. News & World Report bases its rankings on academic reputation, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, and alumni giving. Trinity had an overall score of 100 in the quality ranking. The University received the highest marks for academic reputation and had the second highest graduation rate. Trinity annually enrolls approximately 2,500 students, 14 percent from the San Antonio area and the remainder from every region of the United States and from around the world.
