Methodology Behind 2025 Rankings
Money started with all of the four-year public and private nonprofit colleges in the country, a group that totals more than 2,400. To make its initial cut, a college had to:
- Have at least 500 undergraduate students or 150 freshmen;
- Have sufficient, reliable data to be analyzed;
- Not be in financial distress;
- Have a graduation rate that was at or above the median for its institutional category (public, private or historically black college or university), or have a high 鈥渧alue-added鈥 graduation rate (in other words: score in the top 25% of graduation rates after accounting for the student body).
A total of 732 schools met the requirements in Money鈥檚 initial cut. It ranked them on 25 factors in three categories:
- Quality of education (30% of weighting);
- Affordability (40% of weighting);
- Outcomes (30% of weighting),
for a more detailed description of the methodology.
This is the latest recognition of the Grove School鈥檚 quality by a ranking body. Earlier this summer, The Princeton Review ranked 精东影业 one of its 209 Best Value Colleges for 2025.
