Kiplinger magazine has just released their latest list of the private colleges that provide the best value. Kiplinger attempts to assign certain values to the quality of the colleges compared to the cost after discounting related to financial aid considerations. While any ranking of colleges is problematic this list provides some helpful information regarding the quality measures and financial aid measures for the colleges listed.

This year, for the first time, Kiplinger broke the list into private universities and private liberal arts colleges. We think this is a helpful move as the two types of colleges are often difficult to compare on many levels.

Kiplinger’s list of the Best Value in Public Colleges was released several months ago and provides similar information.
