The cost of tuition is the number one concern for most college-bound students and their parents. Convenience may be another concern, and maybe even what friends and family think of the school. While these concerns are valid, most college ranking agencies have a different set of concerns when it comes to selecting the best of the best. College ranking agencies evaluate factors such as the amount of financial resources a school offers, faculty resources (such as student-faculty ratio), variety and number of program offerings, peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, and student selectivity.
Fortunately, many of New Hampshire’s accredited colleges and universities scored high in these areas. Even better is, some of these overachievers offer programs for animators and other digital artists!
