Welles Hall

GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo has made another strong showing on the Forbes annual national best-college list, ranking the 63rd best public college in the country and 100th among all public and private colleges in the northeast.

In New York, Geneseo is the highest-ranked of the four-year comprehensive colleges in the SUNY system on the 2016 list. Among the 660 public and private colleges in the United States included on the Forbes list, Geneseo is ranked 236th, up 18 from last year’s ranking. The nation has more than 3,000 four-year degree-granting colleges and universities.

This is the ninth annual Forbes top-college rankings. In its methodology explanation, Forbes says it is more interested in “output” than “input” for its rankings, meaning the interest is focused more on what students are getting out of college rather than what gets a student into college.
