Hillsdale College Ranks Among Top 150 Private Colleges in the Nation, Top 50 in the Midwest, According to Forbes Magazine

HILLSDALE, Mich., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hillsdale College is listed as #140 among private colleges and #37 in the Midwest as determined by Forbes Magazine's annual ranking of return-on-investment. This high ranking comes in a competitive field, as the Forbes list compares 650 colleges and universities across the nation. A total of 16 colleges in Michigan made this year's list.

"Hillsdale College's inclusion on Forbes' list of America's Top Colleges highlights the strength of our core curriculum and our commitment to a rigorous, classical liberal arts education," said Dr. David Whalen, provost of Hillsdale College. "The education students receive at Hillsdale is not an end in itself, however, but the means by which students prepare to become good citizens by understanding what is required to live a moral and virtuous life."

Forbes partners with the Washington, D.C.-based Center for College Affordability and Productivity (CCAP) to rank America's top 650 colleges. The list purports to determine a student's return-on-investment from attending a particular college. According to Forbes' website, "The [Forbes] list of 650 schools distinguishes itself from competitors by our belief in 'output' over 'input.'"
