Computed Oct 1, 2026

  • Small, under 3,000 students
  • Medium, 3,000 to 9,999
  • Large, 10,000 or more

Follower growth

Growth is the change in followers across the quarter as a percent of the starting count. It uses the counts closest to the first and last day, within 7 and 3 days.

Engagement rate

Engagement is the median of each post's likes plus comments divided by followers. The median keeps one viral post from winning a list.

Who qualifies

  • A US school account with at least 1,000 followers at quarter end
  • At least 6 posts in the quarter for engagement lists
  • A follower count near the quarter start for growth lists
  • Size lists include 4-year schools only, grouped by IPEDS full-time enrollment
  • Standalone law, MD and DO schools are left out

Tied schools share a rank and are listed alphabetically.

The two metrics are ranked separately and never blended.
