Newswise — Binghamton University has earned a spot on one of Forbes’ most prestigious rankings for the first time. This year marks the University’s debut on Forbes’ Top 25 Public Colleges in the United States – where it is the only New York state institution to be featured. Forbes chose its 25 top public colleges based on several factors from the 2023-2024 academic year, including alumni salaries, academic outcomes and return on investment. This ranking places Binghamton University among several other esteemed institutions across the nation, such as the University of California-Berkeley, the University of California-Los Angeles and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. “This recognition reflects our commitment to academic excellence, student success and meaningful outcomes,” said Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger.
