U.S. News also released “Student Debt Load at Graduation” that measures private and government loans for the class of 2017. Thirty-nine percent of Lynn students graduated with debt in 2017, the third lowest percentage of 100 schools surveyed in the south.

U.S. News says its rankings are calculated based on 16 measures of academic quality. The publication groups schools by their academic missions into 10 categories that are then used to determine 10 distinct rankings. The distinct rankings include best national universities, best public schools and so on. The publication also made some notable changes to its methodology, including adding social mobility indicators, eliminating acceptance rate as a factor and reducing the weight it gives to measures like SAT/ACT scores.
