Macalester College received a four-star rating in Money<\/em>\u2019s Best Colleges in America 2026<\/a>, a list that recognizes colleges and universities for delivering a high-quality education, financial accessibility, and post-graduation success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money<\/em> evaluated hundreds of colleges and universities to help students and families identify schools that deliver an outstanding combination of educational quality, affordability, and post-graduation success. The ratings consider graduation rates, costs, financial aid, student debt, alumni earnings, and other factors to identify colleges that provide exceptional value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macalester\u2019s four-star rating<\/a> affirms its standing as one of the nation\u2019s leading liberal arts colleges, recognized for its excellence and commitment to student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That commitment extends to ensuring that a Macalester education remains accessible to talented students from all income levels. Beginning this fall, the Macalester Tuition Promise<\/a> will ensure that domestic students from families with incomes below $100,000 and typical assets receive a full-tuition scholarship. This initiative builds on Macalester\u2019s longstanding commitment to access and affordability by meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
