Princeton University tops the list in Forbes’ “America’s Top Colleges” 2023 ranking. The four lowest ranking schools in aid were all University of Wisconsin colleges. METHODOLOGYTo compile this year’s ranking, Forbes started with a list of U.S. colleges based on the Carnegie Classification, which categorizes institutions by degree offerings, research output, and specialty focus. This list included doctoral research universities, master’s universities and colleges, baccalaureate colleges, and colleges with specialized programs in engineering, business, and art. To ensure a clean and meaningful ranking, Forbes excluded institutions with plans to close and schools with fewer than 300 undergraduate students.
