The Washington Monthly ranks Calvin College 13^th on its Top 150 Baccalaureate Colleges list. The 2018 edition is the 13^th annual college guide and rankings put out by the magazine.

“Washington Monthly measures schools based on what they are doing for the country—by improving social mobility, producing research, and promoting public service,” said Paul Glastris, editor-in-chief of Washington Monthly. We hope that shining a light on the great work being done at Calvin College encourages other institutions to follow its example.”

According to the guidebook’s introduction, the editors “give high marks to colleges that enroll lots of low-income students and help them graduate and earn a good living without too much debt.” They also “factor in pure research spending and the number of graduates who go on to earn PhDs.” And, they “give extra weight to colleges that send their graduates out into the world to serve the community at large.”
