Forbes released their latest ranking of America’s top colleges Wednesday, dropping SMU down 14 places on the list.
SMU now holds the 123 spot overall for colleges and number 29 for colleges in the South.
Three other Texas schools ranked higher than SMU on the overall list, including Rice University, the University of Dallas and Trinity University. However, SMU held strong over rival school TCU, which came in at No. 277.
The university rankings are based on five different categories: post-graduate success, student satisfaction, debt, Four Year graduation rate and competitive awards.
