Mount Saint Mary College has been recognized as one of Money's Best Colleges in America for 2025, an honor that highlights institutions that combine quality education with affordability and successful student outcomes.
The recognition places Mount Saint Mary College among the country’s top 732 schools.
“We are incredibly proud to be recognized by Money for the value we provide our students,” said Evan Merkhofer, Vice President for Academic Affairs at the Mount. “This recognition is a testament to our dedicated faculty and staff, who work tirelessly to ensure our students not only receive an exceptional education, but are also well-prepared for meaningful careers and lives of service after graduation.”
Money's analysis is designed to help students find schools that offer a high return on their educational investment. The methodology evaluated more than 2,400 four-year institutions.
The rankings are based on more than two dozen data points weighted across three primary categories: Quality of Education (30 percent), Affordability (40 percent), and Outcomes (30 percent). This approach considers factors such as six-year graduation rates, net price of a degree, student debt, and alumni earnings 10 years after enrollment.
The Mount’s inclusion on this list underscores its commitment to providing an accessible and impactful education. The college’s focus on small class sizes, personalized attention, and career-focused programs ensures students are well-equipped to succeed in today’s workforce.
