Additional Information

Unlike U.S. News & World Report, and other popular college ratings system, What Will They Learn? grades colleges and universities based on the courses students are required to complete as part of their general education programs. Ashland University received a “D” grade for its core curriculum in 2022-23. In addition to providing a detailed assessment of Ashland’s general education program, What Will They Learn? assembles information about college costs, graduation rates, student to faculty ratios, student loan default rates, and whether schools have endorsed the Chicago Principles on Freedom of Expression.

Freedom of Expression

Colleges and universities that have adopted the Chicago Principles on Freedom of Expression (or substantially similar statements) are committed "to the preservation and celebration of the freedom of expression as an essential element of the University’s culture.” An open marketplace of ideas on campus fosters intellectual development and prepares graduates for the discussion and debate that informs and sustains a free society.
