The Top 5 Colleges In The U.S. | Forbes

To put together Forbes 2022 Top Colleges list, we started with a list of U.S. colleges that educate undergraduates according to their Carnegie Classification-a higher education framework that categorizes institutions based on the types of degrees they offer, their research output and specialty focus. We chose doctoral research universities, master’s universities and colleges and baccalaureate colleges, as well as colleges that offered specialized programs in engineering, business and art.
From there, we looked at colleges that had sufficient data within the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and College Scorecard-two federal government databases. We also pulled in data from the Seattle-based software and data company PayScale, the Washington, D.C.-based public policy think tank Third Way, the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, as well as some of Forbes’s own lists. We excluded schools with fewer than 300 undergraduates and spun out the five federal military academies, which operate very differently from the other schools on our list.
