2 colleges in Colorado among U.S. News & World Report’s top 30 liberal arts colleges for 2025
Two schools in Colorado were ranked among the top 30 liberal arts colleges in the country in U.S. News & World Report’s latest annual rankings.
The U.S. Air Force Academy, just north of Colorado Springs, was rated No. 8, and Colorado College, a private school in Colorado Springs, was No. 29 in the 2025 rankings released this week.
The University of Colorado came in tied for No. 98, and Colorado State University was No. 148 in the 40th annual edition of the publication’s Best Colleges Rankings. The University of Northern Colorado in Greeley was tied for No. 188.
Rankings were based on a variety of factors, including academic reputation, cost of attendance, return on investment, classroom resources for students and faculty, the rate at which bachelor’s degrees are conferred and producing graduates who entered the workforce with manageable debt and worthwhile starting salaries, the publication explains in an explanation of its methodology.
