rankings in August. Here's a guide to where Wheaton College stands.

Wheaton is one of the country's best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review.
The College is featured in The Best 371 Colleges,
2010 guide. Wheaton was also named to The Princeton Review's 100 Best Value Colleges for 2009 list.
The 2010 Fiske Guide to Colleges named Wheaton College to its list of 44 Best Buy colleges and universities, based on quality of academic offerings in relation to the cost of attendance.
The Washington Monthly college rankings say Wheaton is 15th in the nation among liberal arts colleges. These rankings are based on institutions that are "doing well by doing good."
Kiplinger's rates Wheaton 22nd for Best Values in Liberal Arts Colleges 2009-2010. Kiplinger's rankings measure academic quality and affordability, with quality accounting for two-thirds of the total.
The book Colleges that Change Lives included Wheaton on this select list of 40 schools. Author Loren Pope said, "Wheaton is often called the Harvard of the evangelicals, but that moniker does not do it justice because it is head, shoulders, and heart above Harvard in its concern with good moral compasses and strong value systems, as well as in the percentage of future Ph.D.s it has turned out."
Peterson's says of Wheaton, "The academic curriculum combines with the extensive cocurriculum of artistic, athletic, religious, service, and social activities to achieve a lively interaction of Christian faith, learning, and living."
