The 2025 Best Colleges in the U.S. ranking was developed and executed in collaboration with the WSJ and its research partners, College Pulse and Statista.

On the ranking’s subcategories, Fisher placed No. 202 in Social Mobility; No. 205 in Student Experience; No. 300 in Best Salaries; and No. 373 on Best Value.

Data for the ranking was collected from the U.S. Education Department’s College Scorecard and Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, an independent nationwide survey of more than 112,000 current students and alumni; and additional data sets. Fisher students and alumni taking the survey gave the University high marks in character development and learning facilities.
