Clustered with schools such as Bradley, Butler, Dayton, and DePaul. Not bad company. Very respectable universities that provide a quality undergraduate education.
Very true. Wall Street Journal obviously a financial focused rank.
And yet Wheaton and its faith focus ranks 50 places higher than most of them. Just sayin' Choose this day.....
How is Drake ranked that high? Those that can't get into Iowa, Iowa State or UNI go to Drake.
Paul I don't want to splurge for a WSJ membership.
Can you tell me where Okie state and Oral Roberts rank?

I guess it doesn't matter anymore but if you have time, it would be interesting to see our former conference, HL, WSJ rankings.
Not sure how to interpret ranking when they include colleges versus universities. For example, if you want a nursing degree from say, St Olaf or Gustavus, you'll be sharing a nursing staff with another college. The nursing faculty at St. Olaf includes 8 people. At Valpo there are 26. Apples to Oranges. You can't get a engineering degree from either. I guess if you want a history or math degree then they would be just fine.
