CHICAGO, Ill. - MIT has been tabbed 9th on the list of the top academic and athletic colleges/universities in the country at the NCAA Division III level by the National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA), which recently announced its annual Collegiate Power Rankings. The Engineers placed 15th in the overall Collegiate Power Rankings which compare all schools at the Division I, II and III levels.
The NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings provide data that allows prospective student-athletes and parents to evaluate the particular strengths of universities based on academic and athletic factors, as well as student-athlete graduation rates.
NCSA's power rankings are calculated for each school by averaging the US News & World Report ranking, the US Sports Academy Director's Cup rank (NACDA) and the student-athlete graduation rate of each school. The US Sports Academy Director's Cup ranking evaluates the strength of NCAA athletic departments, while the US News & World Report ranking recognized instructions of academic excellence.
