Forbes recently released its 2021 rankings of the top 600 universities in the United
States. The list, conducted and published by the company, includes the University
of Central Missouri, which ranked 530 among all public and private institutions.
For the 2021 rankings, Forbes used a new ranking methodology inspired by the increasing
importance of education in a pandemic world. This year, the company accounted for
low-income student outcomes as well as utilizing a giant federal database to tally
graduate earnings.
The methodology used for the Forbes ranking consisted of drawing information from
a large pool of accredited institutions of higher education. The main principals driving
the ranking were grading institutions on alumni salary, college debt, return on investment,
graduation rate, placement on the Forbes American Leaders List, retention and academic
success. Data, information and metrics obtained for the ranking were derived from
the College Scorecard and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS);
PayScale, a salary reporting and comparison company; Third Way, a think tank based
in Washington D.C. that developed the Price-to-Earnings Premium; and the National
Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES).
UCM鈥檚 ranking was related to factors such as a high median 10-year salary of over
$80,000 and a low average debt for students. The ranking also noted the university鈥檚
prestigious legacy as one of the oldest universities in the state of Missouri and
UCM鈥檚 16 academic schools that collectively offer more than 150 degree programs, providing
students a flexible higher education experience.
