Money magazine ranks ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ among Best Colleges in America
After analyzing dozens of data points, including graduation rates, cost of attendance, financial aid and alumni salaries, the ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ was awarded by Money magazine.
With college costs remaining one of the primary reasons students choose not to attend college or struggle to graduate once they do, list offers a practical analysis of the best four-year colleges to help families make informed decisions about where to spend their tuition dollars.
This year, Money redesigned its analysis to award colleges star ratings from 2.5 stars to 5 stars, instead of a numbered ranking system. The rankings consider all four-year public and private nonprofit colleges in the country, a group that totals more than 2,400. To make the initial cut, a college had to have at least 500 undergraduate students; have sufficient, reliable data to be analyzed; not be in financial distress; and have a graduation rate that was at or above the median for its institutional category (public, private or historically black college or university), or have a high “value-added” graduation rate.
³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ was listed among 736 schools that met these requirements and were then ranked on 26 factors in three categories: quality of education, affordability, and outcomes (after graduation).
