SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Sept. 14, 2020 — Drury University is once again listed in U.S. News & World Report’s
“Best Colleges 2021” rankings, released today. Drury moved up on two lists that demonstrate the university’s ability to transform the lives of graduates through education.
Drury moved up one spot to No. 9 on the Best Value Universities in the Midwest list. The list recognizes schools with outstanding quality-to-price ratios, according to U.S. News editors. Drury also leaped to No. 15 on Top Performers for Social Mobility in the Midwest region, up from No. 42 last year. That list recognizes schools that enroll and graduate large proportions of disadvantaged students awarded with Pell Grants.
Drury racked up appearances on other U.S. News “Best Colleges 2021” lists, including the national Best Undergraduate Business Programs list, and the Midwest Regional list for Most International Students.
Drury is No. 26 overall on the Midwest Regional University list, extending a run of more than 25 continuous years in the Top 30. The rankings can be viewed online at www.usnews.com/colleges.
The long-running U.S. News rankings are recognized as the most rigorous national ratings for colleges and universities. The annual list uses data on student outcomes, graduation rates, faculty resources, alumni giving and expert opinions to compare institutions. Today’s rankings come on the heels of other national recognition for the university. Drury is one of The Princeton Review’s “Best 386 Colleges” for the third year in a row, and Washington Monthly and Money both touted Drury on their rankings for best value universities this fall.
