5 Local Universities Make Forbes Best List

Five local universities rank among the best colleges in the nation, according to Forbes Magazine.

The annual ranking is compiled by Forbes and the Center for College Affordability and Productivity.

Wittenberg University, Miami University, Cedarville University, the University of Dayton and Wright State University all made the list.

The rankings are based on student evaluations of courses and instructors, post-graduate success and the average student debt after four years.

Ironically, two weeks ago, Forbes Magazine ranked Wittenberg in the bottom 10 of financially-strained schools. University leaders called that ranking misleading and irresponsible.
