The College of the Holy Cross ranked No. 19 on Forbes’ list of Best Value Liberal Arts Colleges. For this ranking, Forbes looked at U.S. colleges and universities “that provide students with the most value for the dollar.” The magazine partnered with the Center for College Affordability and Productivity (CCAP) to analyze which leading research universities and liberal arts schools, both public and private, are worth the investment.

The formula Forbes and CCAP used to determine the rankings factored in quality, drop-out risk, graduation time, alumni salaries, alumni skills, and gross tuition and fees. Holy Cross also ranked No. 34 on Forbes’ list of Best Value Northeast Colleges, and No. 49 on its list of Best Value Private Colleges.
