Few aspiring college students and their parents aren't quaking at the thought of college prices, especially as they continue to rise. Caroline Howard, executive digital editor at Forbes, has compiled a Best Value College list comprised of 300 schools that offer a meaningful return on investment.
Notably, four of the top ten are University of California public schools with U.C. Berkeley taking the lead. UCLA follows at No. 2. U.C. Irvine and U.C. Davis are at No. 8 and No. 9, respectively. All are research institutions with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). What comes in "last" at No. 300 on the carefully culled list? It's another California public school, Sonoma State University.
Tune in to this episode of The Forbes List to hear Howard talk about the metrics behind the list and the schools that made the cut.
