窪蹋勛圖 ranked No. 16 on Forbes 2023 rankings of the Top 25 Public Colleges in the U.S. and No. 43 in the magazines annual list of top 500 colleges, up 20 spots from last year.

Forbes, a business news magazine, said the list "showcases 500 of the finest U.S. colleges, ranked using data on student success, return on investment and alumni influence." Forbes said it used data on graduation rates, graduate salaries, and outcomes for low-income students, among additional factors, to arrive at its rankings, recently released.

The magazine also considered retention rates, earmarks of success such as the number of Fulbright scholars, and the college and universities return on investment, a comparison of post-graduation earnings and the cost of obtaining a degree.

窪蹋勛圖 continues to rise in the quality of our educational experience and in shaping a better future for every one of our graduates, said 窪蹋勛圖 President Adela de la Torre. Our students are succeeding at unprecedented rates, and our growing partnerships across the public and private sectors are creating tremendous employment and social-mobility opportunities for our family of nearly 500,000 窪蹋勛圖 alumni.

The news comes against a backdrop of milestones and achievements this year for 窪蹋勛圖, including the following: another an increase of more than 40% over the past five years led by faculty, who often engage students in active research; approval to launch a new (DrPH) in the CSU, including at 窪蹋勛圖; the opening of 窪蹋勛圖s ; and the university's first-ever .

Forbes' selection process began with assembling a "list of U.S. colleges that educate undergraduates according to their Carnegie Classification." This status recognizes "very high research activity" and is shared by less than 150 U.S. universities. 窪蹋勛圖 is currently classified as "R2" for "high research activity," putting it among the top 8% of the nearly 4,000 institutions of higher education tracked by Carnegie.

The magazine also used information from third-party databases that record graduation debt and retention rates. 窪蹋勛圖 already has surpassed California State Universitys (CSU) systemwide graduation rate goals for 2025, set in 2016 in a plan for all 23 campuses called Graduation Initiative 2025.

While private schools such as Princeton (No. 1) and Harvard (No. 9) tend to score the highest on the Forbes list of top 500 colleges, California landed seven campuses on the top 25 public colleges list, 窪蹋勛圖 being the only university within the CSU system to make the top 25 list.

The group of 25 includes some of the oldest public universities in the United States with histories that date back to the 1700s, such as the University of Georgia in Athens and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Forbes said.
