Skidmore College

Skidmore recognized for teaching, value, and excellence

November 8, 2021

U.S. News & World Report has ranked Skidmore No. 38 in the National Liberal Arts Colleges category of its 2022 Best Colleges rankings. Schools are ranked according to their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence. The publication has once again named Skidmore in the top 50 for “Commitment to Undergraduate Teaching” as well as a “Best Value School.”  

The Princeton Review has also named Skidmore to its 2022 overall list of the Best 387 Colleges. In addition, the publication has identified Skidmore as a “Best Value College” for the educational opportunities it affords students, and has ranked Skidmore among the top 20 schools for “Best Financial Aid.”  

Skidmore was also recently recognized as one of the 2022 Best Colleges in America by The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Rankings. 

Since rankings cannot capture the distinct and complete nature of any college, prospective students are invited to learn more about Skidmore at skidmore.edu/admissions.
