Washington Monthly magazine once again has listed Knox College among the top U.S. colleges: No. 39 overall among 215 U.S. liberal arts colleges, and No. 1 among liberal arts colleges in Illinois. This is the 10th consecutive year that Knox has placed among the top 50. The ranking reflects the College’s “contribution to the public good” in terms of supporting and promoting social mobility, student research, and public service.
In compiling the guide, Washington Monthly gives equal weight to each of three broad categories—community and national service, social mobility, and research—and takes into account several factors within each category.
Knox was also named as one of the “Best Bang for the Buck” colleges in the magazine’s 2021 College Guide and Rankings, which is awarded to schools that “help non-wealthy students obtain marketable degrees at affordable prices.”
