Forbes Magazine's List of America's Best Colleges





In 2009 Forbes magazine, along with The Center for College Affordability and Productivity (CCAP), compiled its first annual list of America's Best Colleges based on "the quality of the education they provide, the experience of the students and how much they achieve".

A focus on outcomes for the students is intended to distinguish the list from rankings that emphasize the selectivity and reputation of the schools. Forbes uses a single set of criteria to rank the 650 institutions, which include regional liberal arts colleges, nationally known universities, and service academies. As of 2013, this methodology includes an analysis of data from RateMyProfessors.com, PayScale, the government's IPEDS database, and other sources. Previous editions of the Forbes/CCAP list used Who's Who in America as one way to determine the success of alumni.

Starting in 2013, four schools that had admitted to misreporting admissions data were removed from the list for two years. The four removed colleges were Bucknell University, Claremont McKenna College, Emory University, and Iona College.
