<p>Perhaps Forbes has made an important paradigm shift in the way colleges are rated, based on the actual quality and substance of the educational experience rather than relying on purely “reputation” and/or the monetary earnings of its graduates, which itself may be more based on old paradigms than the actual educational experience. Like with football, there seems to be a lot more parity between colleges than ever before. Graduating “leaders of character” may indeed be as (or more) important than graduating “captains of industry”.</p>
