We have a long history of thinking differently and accomplishing what other schools cannot. We provide the finest liberal arts education anywhere in order to ignite our students\u2019 passions and potential so they can help to create a more just world.<\/p>\n

<\/span>After extensive deliberations and surveys of our students, staff, faculty, parents, and alumni, the sentiment of our community is clear: Colorado College will no longer cooperate in the deeply flawed U.S. News & World Report<\/em> \u201cBest Colleges\u201d ranking.<\/p>\n

<\/span>We are pulling out of this ranking because it privileges criteria that are antithetical to our values and our aspirational goals.
