Журнал «Forbes» опубликовал свой список лучших американских университетов.

Рейтинг был составлен Центром экономичности и успешности колледжей и был основан на показателях, имеющих наибольшую значимость для студентов, включая качество преподавания, перспективы карьерного роста, уровень поступивших и окончивших обучение и скорость возврата средств, затраченных на получение образования.

Методология не затрагивает репутацию вуза и не измеряет академические достижения.

Десятку лучших американских вузов по версии «Forbes» составили:
