Money Magazine’s New ‘Best College’ Rankings Include BYU

Money Magazine recently released their list of best colleges in the United States, and Brigham Young University found itself sitting comfortably in the top 15.

The magazine determined which four-year colleges in America are the best, based on which colleges and universities can offer a great education at an affordable price, and that can launch students into a successful career post-graduation. Most of the predictable schools ranked highest on the list, like Stanford (1), MIT (2) and Princeton (3). But Money Magazine’s list also included schools that may have been a little more unexpected, such as BYU.

BYU is ranked at number 15 on the list of Best Colleges. Their ranking comes with an A- grade which assesses how well students at the school perform as opposed to performance expectations for students from similar academic and financial backgrounds. The grade was determined by looking at graduation rates, student loan defaults, and post-graduation earnings.
