To come up with the "best colleges for your money "- defined as schools that offer "a great education, at an affordable price, that prepares students for rewarding careers" - MONEY ranked 705 four-year colleges in the US with over 500 students and a median-or-above graduation rate on 24 factors within three broad categories:
- educational quality

- alumni success
