by our College Data Analytics TeamThe goal of College Factual's yearly Best Quality Schools rankings is to help students find graduate schools that provide excellent learning environments that are a great fit for them.

This number is then divided by the total number of students at the school to obtain the racial-ethnic minorities percentage.
