SALISBURY, MD – For the eighth year, Forbes magazine has named Salisbury University among “America’s Top Colleges.”
SU is 217th out of the 600 top-ranked campuses.
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.
Forbes is not the only publication that recently ranked SU among the top colleges in the nation. In recent months, The Princeton Review has ranked it among The Best 385 Colleges for the 23rd consecutive year, and U.S. News & World Report rated it among the “Best Colleges in the U.S.” for the 22nd straight year. Washington Monthly also ranked SU among its “Best Bang for the Buck Colleges” for the ninth consecutive year.
