St. Lawrence University has been named the best “hidden gem” institution in New York State by the college matching platform College Raptor Inc.
College Raptor defines hidden gems as high-caliber colleges and universities which receive fewer than 5,000 applicants per year but have a total enrollment of greater than 1,000. The top hidden gem in each state was determined by analyzing colleges based on their enrollment and application data submitted to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).
St. Lawrence was one of 49 institutions recognized across the country. One college was named from each state, with the exception of Alaska, which did not have an institution meeting the criteria for recognition. Each institution also received an “Overall Ranking” of quality based on academic and outcome data, including graduation rate, selectivity, student-to-faculty ratio and other factors. College Raptor will announce hidden gems at the national and regional level in the coming months.
