Le Moyne Ranked Top 15% in Nation in Money’s 2025 College Rankings

Published: 

In its 2025 rankings, Money Magazine has recognized Le Moyne College with a ranking of four stars (out of five), placing it in the top 15% nationally based on an analysis of all 2,400 four-year public and private nonprofit colleges. The ranking is based on a wide range of criteria including cost of attendance, graduation rates, strong financial aid support, low debt and alumni success.

Money’s analysis looked at all 2,400 four-year public and private nonprofit colleges in the country. To make the initial cut, a college had to: have at least 500 undergraduate or 150 first year students; have sufficient, reliable data to be analyzed; not be in financial distress and; have a graduation rate at or above the median for its institutional category (public, private or historically black college or university), or have a high “value-added” graduation rate (score in the top 25% of graduation rates after accounting for the student body).

For 2025 a total of 732 schools met these requirements, then were given their star rating based on 25 factors in three categories:

  • Quality of education (30%) – factors include graduation rates, peer quality, instructor access and Pell Grant recipient outcomes.
  • Affordability (40%) – factors include net price of a degree and student debt.
  • Outcomes (30%) – factors include earnings 10 years after college entry and college scorecard employment outcomes.

Data collection and analysis for the ratings were led by Money’s rankings partner, Witlytic. Learn more about the survey’s methodology here.
