College Consensus Ranks WCU Among the Nation’s Top Universities
Nationally, West Chester University is among the top 100 best public universities and top 100 best value universities according to College Consensus’ newest 2020 rankings.
College Consensus’ methodology is to compile rankings from Forbes, Money, U.S. News, Wallethub, WSJ/Times Higher Education, and Washington Monthly.
