MONEY and SoFi TEAM UP TO RELEASE THE 2024 BEST COLLEGES LIST WITH MORE THAN 700 SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY10th Edition of Money's Flagship Colleges List Analyzes Quality, Affordability and Future Earning Potential List uses a unique star system instead of pure rankings SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Personal finance digital platform Money and SoFi, a member-centric, one-stop shop for digital financial services that helps members borrow, save, spend, invest and protect their money, announced the release of the 2024's Best Colleges list today. Now in its 10th year, Money's Best Colleges includes an analysis of 745 choices that provide applicants the best value for their money. For the second time, Money analyzed schools and gave them a star rating instead of a numerical ranking, giving users a more useful and nuanced research experience. This rating system is based on the philosophy that there is not one, singular best college for every student. Instead, there's a variety of outstanding, high-value colleges across the country. Money's Best Colleges includes an analysis of 745 choices that provide applicants the best value for their money. "We hope students and parents use our list to discover new colleges that may be worth their attention, and perhaps more importantly, we want our analysis to encourage readers to think critically about what they're paying for college and what sort of outcomes they can expect in return," said Money's education editor, Kaitlin Mulhere. SoFi is the premiere sponsor for this year's Best Colleges list. With a focus on above-average graduation rates, Money scored colleges in three areas: quality, affordability and future earning potential. These data points take into account important factors like Money's unique calculation of the net price of a degree, average borrowing rates, median earnings and four "value add" calculations measuring a school's actual performance against its predicted performance based on its student body. Money's 2024 Five-Star Best Colleges are as follows: Amherst College For Money's complete list of the Best Colleges, go here. For the complete methodology, click here.
