MCLA is ranked ninth on this year's list and also appears on U.S. News' list of Top National Liberal Arts colleges.

The college also is ranked for the first time among the top 50 public and private schools on U.S. News' "Top Performers on Social Mobility" list, which measures how well schools graduate students who receive federal Pell Grants, funds that are typically awarded to students whose families make less than $50,000.
