Albertus Magnus College is on the “Money”
Albertus Once Again Named to Best Colleges in America List
NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 10, 2025 – As Albertus Magnus College gets ready to mark its 100th Anniversary, it puts a checkmark on an important achievement: once again being named to Money’s Best Colleges in America list for 2025. This is an innovative analysis that focuses on academic quality, affordability, and post-graduate outcomes. Albertus is one of only 13 Connecticut institutions to earn a place on Money’s list — and this year, improved its ranking even more.
Instead of using a numeric arrangement, Money assigns institutions of higher education a “star rating,” grouping together schools with similar scores based on weighted performance factors. Money looked at more than 2,400 four year public and private non-profit colleges, but narrowed its list to include only 732 rated institutions that met baseline enrollment, graduation, and financial standards.
“Consistency matters. High standards of excellence matter. A commitment to affordability and student outcomes matters," said Albertus President Marc M. Camille, Ed.D. “External accolades such as inclusion in Money’s 2025 Best Colleges in America are a testament to the quality and value of an Albertus degree and no doubt contributing to the increased demand from a widening group of students who are choosing our time-tested liberal arts- and values-based education."
Albertus’s appearance on Money’s Best Colleges list follows other distinctions from earlier this year, including recognition by Forbes Advisor, US News & World Report, US News & World Report Online, and designation as a Military Friendly® School.
