The new rankings reflect an analysis of objective measurements of academic quality alongside affordability in an effort to help students and their parents better understand value. This year, Kiplinger expanded the rankings from 300 colleges to 400.
“We start with a universe of nearly 1,200 schools, then trim the list based on measures of academic quality, cost and financial aid data,” said Kaitlin Pitsker, associate editor.
Academic quality measures include SAT or ACT scores, admission and retention rates, student-faculty ratios, and graduation rates. Academic quality carries more weight in the rankings than costs.
Introduced in 1998, the rankings now combine public schools, private universities and private liberal arts colleges into a single, comprehensive list of 400 schools. Kiplinger also ranks the best values in each category.
