College Choice Releases 2017 Ranking of the 25 Best Colleges in Missouri
EUGENE, Ore., May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- College Choice, a leading authority in college and university rankings and resources, has published a ranking of the 25 Best Colleges in Missouri for 2017.

Seeing that in the near future, it is estimated that 60 percent of all jobs will require a college education, the state of Missouri has announced its "Big Goal" to make sure that 60 percent of adults earn a certificate or degree by 2025. It's a state that is focusing on higher education, so College Choice has developed a list of Missouri's best colleges.
"The state of Missouri has the headquarters of some of the biggest companies in the country: Monsanto, Anheuser-Busch, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and others," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking. "Where you go to college will affect where your networks will be, which will make it easier to find a job later on. Missouri, then, might be a strong option for where you want to connect with classmates, professors, and alumni who can help you boost your career."
College Choice developed its list by looking at student body diversity, academic quality, and return on investment—the differential between tuition costs and average early career earnings.
The ranking for the 25 Best Colleges in Missouri finds Washington University in St. Louis in the top spot. College of the Ozarks is in second, and Saint Louis University rounds out the top three.
