The list ranks colleges by median starting salary, average SAT score, and a survey that asked more than 1,000 Business Insider readers to choose the colleges that best prepare their students for success after graduation. Read our full methodology here.

We looked at our full list of 100 colleges and filtered them to only include those with 5,000 or fewer undergrads, then reranked them here to find out which are the best small schools in America. Read on to see which schools made the list.
