"In 2013, Educate To Career invented a completely new methodology for ranking colleges. Our system was based on the economic value that colleges created for students. It was not another rehashed list of colleges, sorted by SAT score. This new system was based solely on the colleges ability to provide future earnings value to their students. We statistically valued graduation rates, occupational outcomes (including salaries), student loan repayment rates, labor market attachment, and other factors to score colleges."
