The study employed a methodology based on a wide array of the latest data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. A 22-part formula pinpointed the public universities and colleges that offer the best educational experiences to their students. It gave the highest marks to schools with highly selective admissions processes, strong retention and graduation rates, impressive earnings by alumni, generous resources, affordable tuition, and housing costs, diverse faculties and student bodies, and economically robust communities.
