Hilbert College is ranked No. 14 among Regional Colleges in the North for Top Performers on Social Mobility in the U.S. News & World Report’s Best College rankings. Hilbert also ranks No. 40 among Best Regional Colleges in the North according to the publication’s rankings.
Ranking among the Top 15 for Top Performers in Social Mobility aligns with Hilbert’s mission and vision as a Catholic, Franciscan college providing access for a diverse student population, including a large percentage of first-generation students. The ranking measures how well schools graduated students who received federal Pell Grants. The social mobility ranking was computed by aggregating the two ranking factors assessing graduation rates of Pell-awarded students.

HILBERT BLUEPRINT
