## How this list is ordered

Schools are ordered by Azimuth's overall score for the Midwest, highest first. The score combines four pillars, weighted 30% return, 30% mobility, 20% access and 20% affordability, as set out on [Azimuth's methodology page](/methodology/#composite). The score draws on median earnings of federally aided completers across all fields, measured four years after completing, among those working and not enrolled. It does not measure fit or teaching quality. University of Michigan-Ann Arbor ranks 16th on Azimuth's composite ranking among nonprofit four-year institutions, and University of Illinois Chicago ranks 17th. The list includes 116 public and 275 private nonprofit institutions.
