Proud to Be Un-Ranked

Written by: Lauren Carballo

Director of Admissions and Student Affairs

Our small school size and specialized program automatically exclude Webb’s from many of the U.S. News & World Report ranking lists, even if our data shows that we should rank higher than college’s at the top of those ranking lists. This article dives into how colleges that don’t fit the mold of a “typical college” are excluded. The ultimate goal is to help inform prospective students on the downfalls of such rankings, and to encourage them to choose colleges based on their own research instead of ranking lists developed from incomplete data.

Because a ship is essentially a floating city, at Webb you learn every engineering discipline, and how they all fit together. The software we used to model ship hulls is the exact same tool we use to engineer 3D paper art at Lovepop. You graduate from Webb with an unrivaled work ethic, an analytical mindset, and truly a lifelong family.
