This is great news, and it\u0092s so rewarding to have our efforts recognized.\u0094<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nAccording to data that stretches back to 2014, the 2021 ranking of No. 31 overall in the region is the highest mark that Marymount has achieved in the Best Colleges Rankings. The scores from U.S. News &#038; World Report are determined through several weighted key measures of quality that consist of graduation and retention rates, graduation rate performance, social mobility, undergraduate academic reputation, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving and graduate indebtedness.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u0093A clear lesson we have learned from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is that it has disproportionately affected the socially disadvantaged according to race and ethnicity, income and other factors,\u0094 Dr. Becerra added. \u0093Education has often been described as the \u0091great equalizer,\u0092 and it\u0092s so important \u0096 especially now \u0096 to offer increased access and personalization that will help members of underprivileged groups earn degrees that secure their future from the effects of future pandemics and times of social upheaval. At Marymount, we\u0092re proving ourselves as a shining example for how to achieve these goals.\u0094<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nFor more information on the overall methodology used by U.S. News &#038; World Report for its Best Colleges Rankings, <a href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/URL-Redirects\/091420-Methods\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the third consecutive year, Marymount University has risen in U.S. News &#038; World Report\u0092s Best Colleges Rankings. \u00a0 After jumping more than 20 spots in last year\u0092s list, Marymount is once again moving up among the Best Regional Universities in the South \u0096 now ranked at No. 31 in the region (No. 37 in [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/blog\/marymount-continues-upward-climb-in-best-colleges-rankings-by-u-s-news-world-report\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Marymount continues upward climb in Best Colleges Rankings by U.S. News &amp; World Report - Marymount University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"For the third consecutive year, Marymount University has risen in U.S. News &amp; World Report\u0092s Best Colleges Rankings. \u00a0 After jumping more than 20 spots in .
