The University of Mary Washington (UMW) has been recognized in Money Magazine's "Best Colleges in America" list for the second year. The list, in its 10th edition, evaluates over 700 four-year colleges based on quality, affordability, and future earning potential. This year, UMW earned a 3.5-star rating and is one of 22 Virginia colleges featured.

Virginia Military Institute (VMI) received 5 stars; William & Mary (W&M), University of Virginia (UVA) and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VA Tech) all received 4.5 stars.

Money Magazine uses a unique star rating system and includes metrics like the net price of a degree, average borrowing rates, and median earnings. It also calculates "value add" to measure a school’s actual performance against predicted outcomes, assessing how effectively a college impacts graduates' success.
