From over 1000 colleges, the Princeton Review has selected the Top 50 "Colleges that Create Futures."



The Criteria

We identify the schools that were not only academically first-rate but also first-rate at helping their students move on to successful and rewarding post-graduate chapters. We looked at data from our own surveys of students and administrators, and we personally reached out to administrators, faculty, students and alumni at dozens of schools. We also sought feedback from our Princeton Review editors and test-prep experts who are on college campuses and have their ears to the ground about exemplary programs at various institutions.

In particular, we identified schools that reported a significant percentage of graduates pursuing further study, and colleges at which students we surveyed gave their schools high ratings in categories that ranged from career services and internship opportunities to community service and extracurricular engagement.

Our interviews with administrators, faculty, and alumni at these schools generated a wealth of rich and useful insights about their campus facilities and programs. Among other things, we asked administrators to identify unique hands-on learning programs on campus. We asked faculty to give us the scoop on the specific skills their students acquire by graduation. Finally, we asked alumni to share the ways their campus experiences shaped their career trajectories.

From that broad range of data, student and administrator surveys, and insightful feedback from current students, deans, professors, and alumni, we present our profiles of these 50 extraordinary colleges. We hope our profiles will give you a panoramic picture of how each of these schools prepares their students for careers that suit them and well into their futures.

So is Houston producing astronauts or is it because we're just that much better at football than everybody else in the AAC ...
Houston IS a p6, being the only AAC team on this great list we should receive more money than all the other first rate second hand teams in the conference, Uconn especially should pay us $$$ directly out of pocket
I will say this list could be a really good conference for football
Just saying...

Seems like a great list to be on -- the peer groups there are outstanding.
