America's Best Colleges
Methodology
Center for College Affordability and Productivity staff, 08.11.10, 06:00 PM EDT
The complete methodology for America's Best Colleges 2010.

Overview
Americans spend more money on college education than nearly any other investment. Just as they want home inspectors to evaluate possible house purchases, and Consumer Reports or J.D. Power and Associates to help guide their car purchases, they look to information providers like Forbes to assist them in their choice of colleges and universities.

The Forbes ranking is designed to meet the needs of undergraduate students. It attempts to help them evaluate things that many believe are important criteria when selecting a college:

--Do students enjoy their classes and overall academic experience?
--Do graduates succeed well in their occupations after college?
--Do most students graduate in a timely fashion, typically four years?
--Do students incur massive debts while in schools?
--Do students succeed in distinguishing themselves academically?


We use more than 10 factors in compiling these rankings, with no single factor counting as much as 20%. The rankings are objectively determined, with the only subjective judgments being those of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity and Forbes as to which factors to include and the weights to be used in evaluating each factor.

Students have varying tastes, preferences, academic abilities and financial situations, so the "best" school for each student depends not only on overall quality as measured by rankings such as this one, but other considerations specific to individual students. A do-it-yourself ranking indicator allows users to personalize rankings to fit their own tastes. We also offer a "best value" ranking that relates institutional quality to costs as measured by tuition and fees.

A detailed discussion of the methodology used in the compiling of these rankings follows.
