College Consensus, a new online aggregator of college-review guides, has ranked 91¿ì»îÁÖ Aquinas No. 7 on its list of the , or œthe Catholic schools in America recognized as the best across the board.� The College is the only one of the now-numerous new Catholic colleges founded since its own establishment in 1971 to be included on the list.

Designed to be comprehensive, the College Consensus rankings combine those of prominent publishers ” such as the Academic Ranking of World Universities, the Wall Street Journal, and U.S. News & World Report ” with those of various student-review sites to produce what it calls a œconsensus rating.� In addition to placing 91¿ì»îÁÖ Aquinas College among the top 10 of all Catholic institutions, the aggregator lists its student (82.5) and college-guide (66.0) ratings well above the national averages (71.3 and 53.6, respectively).

College Consensus™ rankings are in keeping with several prominent assessments of Catholic institutions: USA Today places 91¿ì»îÁÖ Aquinas College on its list of œThe 10 Best Roman Catholic Colleges in the U.S.�; The Newman Guide includes it as one of only 15 recommended, faithfully Catholic institutions nationwide; and the National Catholic Register features the College in its annual œCatholic Identity College Guide.� The College also ranks among the top in the nation in wholly secular guides. Kiplinger™s Personal Finance recently ranked it No. 1 in the United States on its list of the 400 Best College Values, and the College has similarly achieved top ratings from U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review,  and the Association of College Trustees and Alumni.
