Finding reliable college program rankings can be a bit tricky, but here are a few resources where you can get started:

1. US News & World Report: They provide overall college rankings, subject-specific rankings, and graduate school rankings. For undergraduate mathematics program rankings, look for the "Best Colleges for Mathematics" list.

2. QS World University Rankings by Subject: Another well-known ranking source, QS categorizes universities by subjects, including mathematics. This list will help you get an idea of how schools perform both nationally and internationally in the field of math.

3. CollegeVine: While not offering specific subject rankings, CollegeVine provides comprehensive college profiles that include details about each school's programs, including math. By researching individual colleges, you'll be able to gather detailed information about their mathematics departments, faculty, and resources.

As you research, keep in mind that rankings alone should not determine your college choices, as they may not reflect the specifics you're looking for in a school or program. Make sure to consider other factors, such as class sizes, faculty quality, curriculum depth, research opportunities, academic resources, and campus culture.

It's important to visit the mathematics department websites of colleges you're interested in. There, you can learn more about their courses, professors, research opportunities, and special programs (such as math clubs, competition teams, or seminars). Additionally, reach out to the admissions office with any questions, and connect with current students or alumni to gather their perspectives on the college's math program. This will give you a more well-rounded view of different programs, helping you find the best fit for you.
