    Understanding the columns

    The school list includes a few facts about each school that give you an idea of the educational quality each school might offer:

    • Student-Faculty Ratio: A small number of students per full-time instructor suggests individual attention for each student and an up-to-date curriculum.

    • Satisfaction Rate: A high percentage of returning first-year students should correlate with satisfaction (schools call this their retention rate).

    • Repayment Rate: A high repayment rate means most alumni earn enough to make progress repaying loans within 7 years of leaving.

    We also show the total enrollment for the school as measured by full-time-equivalent (FTE) students enrolled annually.
