Forbes ranks West Point as nation's top college

I spent time over the Labor Day holiday with family members who work at the West Point United States Military Academy. They are quite proud that “Forbes ranks West Point as nation's top college.” See this article in “Inside the Army” News…http://www.army.mil/-news/2009/08/07/25619-forbes-ranks-west-point-as-nations-top-college/ Show more results from www.army.mil

I had taken note of the Forbes’ accolades a month ago, yet figure it deserves yet additional attention…

WEST POINT, N.Y. (Army News Service, Aug. 7, 200) - A report released Wednesday by Forbes magazine ranked the U.S. Military Academy as the top college in the country in their America's Best College review.

"Marked by an intense work ethic and drive to succeed on all fronts, the West Point undergraduate experience also allows graduates to leave without a penny of tuition loans to repay," Forbes stated in its release.

In the Forbes rating, West Point outpaced other highly-ranked schools such as Princeton (#2), Cal Tech (#3), Harvard (#5) and the U.S. Air Force Academy (#7).

"All of us at West Point are very proud that Forbes has rated us as the number-one college in the nation," said Brig. Gen. Patrick Finnegan, dean of the Academic Board at West Point. "This ranking recognizes the exceptionally high quality of a West Point education. It is always exciting to be validated by independent organizations."

West Point was founded in 1802 as America's first college of engineering. Its mission remains constant: to educate, train, and inspire cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of duty, honor, country and prepared for a career of service to the nation as an officer in the U.S. Army.
