In the September 2010 edition of U.S. News & World Report, the college rankings for best regional universities were unveiled.

If you are looking at colleges in the Midwest, you may be interested to see which colleges rank the best in that region of the US.

While the official rankings list the top 47 universities in the Midwestern United States, I have only included the top 19 universities in the Midwest region of the United States.

You will notice that there are some ties, which resulted in multiple universities having the same rank.

1. Creighton University
2. Butler University
