SELINSGROVE — Susquehanna University has climbed in two key national college rankings. The Wall Street Journal and Forbes — that measure the country’s top universities and their success for delivering outstanding educational, financial and career outcomes for their students.
Both the WSJ/College Pulse 2025 Best Colleges in the U.S. and Forbes’ America’s Top Colleges rankings begin with a list of over 3,000 U.S. institutions, narrowing to the top 500 schools.
Forbes specifically made note of Susquehanna’s emphasis on experiential learning, the Global Opportunities study-abroad program and campus life. Ranked this year at No. 308, Susquehanna rose more than 100 spots since its ranking last year.
Forbes weighs data in seven general categories: alumni salary (20%); student debt (15%); return on investment (15%); graduation rate (15%); Forbes American Leaders List (15%); retention rate (10%); and academic success (10%).
