Independent news magazine-Washington Monthly has recently released its annual Liberal Arts College Rankings list. Known for its unique standard and methodology, the magazine evaluates and ranks colleges in the Unites States based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories. It rates schools based on their ability to recruit and graduate low income students (Social Mobility), their production of cutting edge scholarship and PhDs (Research), and how they encourage students to give something back to their nation (Service).

Founded in 1969, Washington Monthly is a non-profit bimonthly magazine that takes pride in their ranking system. Unlike, traditional college rankings, it does not rely on ‘crude and easily manipulated measures of wealth, exclusivity, and prestige for its rankings.’ Rather it evaluates institutions based on what they are doing for their students and the country. The publication has mentioned that it does not consider any one criterion more important than the other. Instead, while calculating the final score it weighs all three criteria equally.

Among 246 schools ranked in 2014, 14 Historically Black Colleges and Universities have proudly made to the list. Here are the names of the HBCU’s that have been considered worthy to be included in the Liberal Arts College Rankings list.
