The U.S. News surveys ask about many aspects of your institution that are important to potential college applicants across the country, other educational intuitions, and the public at large.

There are 3 steps in the U.S. News data collection process: Step 1: Data - Fill in as much of the survey as possible. Step 2: Assessment - After 濠lling in your data, navigate to the ‘Main Survey Assessment’ section. The assessment runs a comparison between your current data and the data submitted last year.
