加州大學伯克利分校(UC Berkeley)在《福布斯》(Forbes)美國頂級大學年度榜單中名列前茅,這是自2008年該榜單成立以來,公立大學首次榮登榜首。將校園作為一個「真正的美國夢的引擎,」的排名將五個UCs全國前50名的大學,在8號與加州大學洛杉磯分校,加州大學聖地牙哥分校排名15,在20號加州大學戴維斯分校,加州大學聖芭芭拉在39號,加州大學歐文分校在47。
加州大學伯克利分校(UC Berkeley)擊敗了耶魯大學(Yale)、普林斯頓大學(Princeton)、史丹福大學(Stanford)和哥倫比亞大學(Columbia)。
「祝賀我們的校長、學生、教職員工和所有使這一切成為可能的人,」加州大學校長麥可·v·德雷克醫學博士說
「自從我們成立以來,加州大學為各種背景的學生提供了世界級的教育。從我們慷慨的財政援助項目到我們的動手研究,再到我們對學生指導和成長的關注,加州大學為我們的學生打開了機會之門,確保我們所有的學生都有他們茁壯成長所需的工具。我很高興看到我們對卓越、入學和社會流動性的承諾在今年的福布斯美國頂級大學排名中得到認可。」
Top Colleges的評估方法包括了對來自美國近2700所高等教育機構的600所四年制學校的畢業生成績和學業成績的評估。校友薪資佔排名的20%;債務、投資回報率、畢業率和校友/學生領導力各佔15%的權重;而留校率和學術成就(以獲得聲望獎學金和博士學位衡量)的權重均為10%。
《福布斯》(Forbes)助理編輯克裡斯蒂安·克雷茲納爾(Christian Kreznar)說:「《泰晤士報》要求的排名應該考慮包容性,而不是排他性,應該獎勵那些推動大多數人而不是少數特權階層實現美國夢的學院和大學。」去年,由於疫情的影響,該雜誌暫停了大學排名,並為這一期更新了排名方法,以實現一個新目標,即捕捉歸國學生在他們人生中最重要的投資之一上的體驗。
和過去一樣,該排名同時包括私立和公立大學。在公立學校中,加州大學伯克利分校(UC Berkeley)、加州大學洛杉磯分校(UCLA)、加州大學聖地牙哥分校(UC San Diego)、加州大學戴維斯分校(UC Davis)分列前四名,聖巴巴拉分校(UC Santa Barbara)(第13位)、加州大學歐文分校(UC Irvine)(第16位)、加州大學聖克魯茲分校(UC Santa Cruz)(第41位)和加州大學河濱分校(UC Riverside)(第42位)也在前50名之內。
克雷茲納在一篇關於他們研究方法發展的文章中寫道:「僅僅詢問哪些學校的投資回報率最高是不夠的。」「評估他們教育的是什麼樣的學生,以及他們是否讓那些負擔不起高昂學費的人了解自己,這也很重要。」即使像哈佛大學一樣,他們承諾為他們錄取的低收入申請者支付全額費用,他們是否接收了足夠多的貧困學生,讓這個承諾變得有意義?
「加州大學伯克利分校在這方面做得比哈佛大學好得多。在伯克利,27%的本科生獲得聯邦佩爾助學金,旨在幫助低收入和中等收入的學生支付大學費用。相比之下,在哈佛,佩爾的學生比例只有12%。」
在加州大學,35%的本科生獲得了聯邦佩爾助學金。加州大學的低收入學生還獲得加州政府資助的加州助學金和加州大學本身的經濟援助,這是一項慷慨的一攬子計劃,涵蓋了加州大學56%的本科生的所有學費和雜費。
《福布斯》排名只是加州大學一系列榮譽中的最新一項,加州大學一直致力於為所有加州人提供世界一流的教育。在《華盛頓月刊》最近發布的對公共利益的貢獻排名中,加州大學校園躋身全國最好的學校之列。在《美國新聞與世界報導》(U.S. News and World Report)的2021年最佳大學排名中,加州大學除了在公立大學類別中表現強勁之外,在社會流動性方面也獲得了很高的評價。《紐約時報》將加州大學描述為「向上流動的機器」。
原文如下
UC Berkeley ranks as the best school in the country in Forbes』 annual list of America’s Top Colleges, the first time a public university has topped the ranking since its inception in 2008. Hailing the campus as a 「true engine of the American dream,」 the ranking placed five other UCs in its top 50 of all universities across the country, with UCLA at No. 8, UC San Diego at No. 15, UC Davis at No. 20, UC Santa Barbara at No. 39 and UC Irvine at No. 47.
UC Berkeley beat out Yale, Princeton, Stanford and Columbia, which round out the top 5, with previous list leader Harvard at No. 8.
「Congratulations to our chancellors, students, faculty, staff and all who have made this possible,」 said University of California President Michael V. Drake, M.D.
「Since our founding, University of California campuses have provided a world-class education to students of all backgrounds. From our generous financial aid programs to our hands-on research to our focus on student mentorship and growth, UC opens doors of opportunity and ensures that all of our students have the tools they need to thrive. I am thrilled to see our commitment to excellence, access and social mobility recognized in this year’s Forbes America’s Top Colleges rankings.」
The Top Colleges methodology includes measures pertaining to graduate success as well as academic excellence in its evaluation of 600 four-year schools drawn from nearly 2,700 higher education institutions in the United States. Alumni salary makes up 20 percent of the ranking; debt, return on investment, graduation rates and alumni/student leadership are weighted at 15 percent each; while retention rates and academic success, measured by receipt of prestigious fellowships and Ph.D.s, are both weighted at 10 percent.
「The times demand a ranking that accounts for inclusivity, not exclusivity, and rewarding colleges and universities that are engines of the American Dream for the many and not a privileged few,」 said Christian Kreznar, assistant editor at Forbes who led Top Colleges this year. The magazine paused its college rankings last year on account of the pandemic and refreshed their methodology for this edition to meet a new goal of capturing the return students experience on one of the most significant investments in their lives.
As in the past, the rankings include private and public universities together. Among public schools exclusively, UC takes the top four spots (UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Davis, respectively) with UC Santa Barbara (No. 13), UC Irvine (No. 16), UC Santa Cruz (No. 41) and UC Riverside (No. 42) also among the top 50.
「It isn’t enough to ask which schools give the best return on investment,」 Kreznar writes in an article on the development of their methodology. 「It’s also important to evaluate what kind of students they educate and whether they make themselves accessible to those who can’t afford high sticker prices. Even if, like Harvard, they promise to pay full freight for the low-income applicants they accept, do they take enough disadvantaged students to make that promise meaningful?
「UC Berkeley does a much better job at this than does Harvard. At Berkeley, 27 percent of undergraduates receive federal Pell Grants, aimed at helping low- and moderate-income students pay for college. At Harvard, by contrast, the share of Pell students is just 12 percent.」
Across UC, 35 percent of undergrads receive federal Pell Grants. UC’s low-income students also receive state-funded Cal Grants and financial aid from UC itself — a generous package that covers all tuition and fees for 56 percent of UC undergraduates.
The Forbes ranking is only the latest in a series of honors for the UC system and its efforts to provide a world-class education to all Californians. UC campuses placed among the best schools in the country in Washington Monthly’s recently released rankings for contributions to the public good. UC also rated highly for social mobility in the 2021 edition of U.S. News and World Report’s Best Colleges rankings, in addition to its strong performances in the public university category. The New York Times has described UC as an 「upward-mobility machine.」
