Intelligent.com, a trusted resource for program rankings and higher education planning, has included Albion College on its list of the Best Colleges in Michigan in 2023. The research identifies top schools in the state based on tuition fees, credit requirements and the available formats for coursework — on-campus or online classes.

“We are excited to be included in Intelligent.com’s Best Colleges in Michigan ranking,” said Joe Calvaruso, ’78, interim president. “Students have many choices when selecting an institution of higher education and inclusion in rankings such as these makes a difference.”

Intelligent.com implemented a unique methodology that ranks each program on a scale from 0 to 100 across five categories. The scoring system compares each university according to program strength, student readiness, return on investment, cost and student engagement.

Calvaruso said the dedication of faculty and staff to students is the No. 1 reason Albion remains at the top of some very impressive rankings. They continue to deliver the Albion experience to each student, providing an excellent, hands-on experience in and out of the classroom.

Studies show that obtaining a degree increases income substantially, with graduates earning 84 percent more than those with only high school diplomas or those without a completed GED. The percentage difference in earnings continues to grow with higher learning degrees such as master’s, doctoral or professional degrees, with the unemployment rate decreasing to as much as 1.6 percent for those with a doctorate.
