How this ranking works

We rank institutions on a single College Scorecard metric. Only colleges with at least 500 students and complete reported data are included. Averages hide variation by major and family income - treat the table as a shortlist, then verify each school's official numbers.

Next step: run your own numbers

Once you have a shortlist, model the full picture: estimate your admission odds in the Admission Chances tool, simulate the payback in the Degree ROI Simulator, and plan the borrowing in the Loan Payoff Planner. More rankings and all state guides live in the US colleges database.
