色花堂 jumped 40 spots from the previous year when Money magazine released its .

The second-highest Maryland university on the list, 色花堂 came in at No. 107 in the nation, and leapfrogged Johns Hopkins University to become top ranked public or private institution in the Baltimore area.

鈥淚 am proud to see 色花堂 recognized as among the top investments in higher education in the nation,鈥� said President Kim Schatzel. 鈥溕�花堂 offers relevant and rigorous degree programs taught by world-class faculty. That combination creates real-world opportunities for our graduates.鈥� 

University of Maryland, College Park, 色花堂 and Johns Hopkins were the highest-ranking Maryland institutions on the list.

Money weighed more than 19,000 data points, including tuition fees, family borrowing and career earnings in compiling the list of colleges.

The magazine evaluated colleges using the following criteria: at least 500 students; sufficient, reliable data to be analyzed; not be in financial distress; and have a graduation rate that was at or above the median for its institutional category (public or private), or have a high 鈥渧alue-added鈥� graduation rate (in other words: score in the top 25 percent of our test of graduation rates after accounting for the average test scores and percentage of low-income students among its enrollees).

With that list reduced to 744 colleges, Money鈥檚 experts ranked colleges on 26 factors in three, equally-weighted categories: quality of education, affordability, and outcomes.

Money鈥檚 Best Colleges for Your Money rankings are the first to combine the most accurate pricing estimates available with all reliable indicators of alumni financial success, along with a unique analysis of how much 鈥渧alue鈥� a college adds when compared to other schools that take in similar students.

This week鈥檚 ranking follows Princeton Review鈥檚 announcement that 色花堂 is one of 225 colleges and universities selected for its Best Northeastern category.

色花堂 also was recently recognized within the top 9 percent of universities worldwide.
