The 2018 list focuses specifically on measures of post-graduate income, student debt, student satisfaction, graduation rate and academic success. Forbes utilizes resources such as the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System from the Department of Education and PayScale.com to calculate its rankings.

they put these lists out every year and we are always last. The only thing that is surprising is that people still go to forbes to read recycled lists.

These seem like important real world metrics -- especially the post graduation income.

It is, Forbes doesn't have any idea. The rating system is rigged to promote private colleges and trailer parks/jean shorts.

Even as an LSU alum, them at 6 in the SEC is laughable.

Mizzou is such an esteemed university, less and less people choose to attend college there every year.

I actually can't argue with it. With the way we've been increasing out enrollment to such staggering numbers, it has been hurting some of our academic data points.
