Salisbury, MD — For the 12th year, Forbes magazine has named Salisbury University among “America’s Top Colleges.”
Ranking among the 300 top-ranked campuses, SU’s selection for the Forbes list was based on outcomes including student satisfaction, on-time graduation rates, student debt, and academic and employment success. Data was provided by the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard and Payscale.com, among other sources.
According to Forbes’ methodology, more than 3,000 four-year colleges and universities nationwide initially were reviewed for the list, which was then narrowed based on those for which information was available from its data sources. From there, the list was honed even further based on undergraduate enrollment, and retention and graduation rates. Those remaining were considered for inclusion.
“We are proud that Forbes continues to recognize Salisbury University among the nation’s top colleges,” said SU President Carolyn Ringer Lepre. “This honor highlights the excellence of our academic programs, the dedication of our faculty and staff, and the achievements of our students and alumni. As we enter our second century, this recognition underscores SU’s growing reputation as a university of choice for those seeking both quality and opportunity.”
Forbes is not the only publication that has ranked SU among the top colleges in the nation. Recently, Salisbury was named among The Best 391 Colleges for the 26th consecutive year by The Princeton Review and among the nation’s top master’s-level and “Best Bang for the Buck” institutions by Washington Monthly. Money magazine also ranked SU among “The Best Colleges in America.”
