Forbes Again Names SU Among 'America's Top Colleges'

SALISBURY, MD---For the 13th year, Forbes magazine has named Salisbury University among “America’s Top Colleges.”

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 honored that Forbes continues to recognize Salisbury University among the nation’s top colleges,” said SU President Carolyn Ringer Lepre. “Ultimately, the value of a Salisbury education is reflected in the success of our students and alumni. This recognition speaks to the dedication of our faculty and staff, the strength of our academic programs and, most importantly, the opportunities we provide for students to graduate prepared to achieve their goals and make a difference in their communities and beyond.”

Forbes is not the only publication that has ranked SU among the top colleges in the nation. Recently, Salisbury was named among The Best 392 Colleges for the 28th consecutive year by The Princeton Review and one of “The Best Colleges in America” by Money. Washington Monthly also has named SU among the region’s “Best Colleges for Your Tuition (and Tax) Dollars” institutions.
