The University of Mary Washington has been named to Forbes’ 2016 list of “America’s Top Colleges.”
UMW was ranked 275th out of 660 colleges and universities in the Forbes 2016 list, which is now in its ninth year. UMW also is listed 54th among schools in the South.
According to Forbes, the list of 660 schools is unique to competitors in the way it focuses on “output” over “input.” According to the magazine, “We’re not interested in what gets a student into college, like our peers who focus heavily on selectivity metrics… Our sights are set directly on ROI: What are students getting out of college?”
