EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in Virginia ranked based on their research performance in Creative Writing. A graph of 36.1K citations received by 3.92K academic papers made by 12 universities in Virginia was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
