INDIANA – Choosing a college is an important decision. One that will impact everything from future earnings and employment to potential student loan debt and social circles.

There are many considerations to take into account when selecting a college location, size, diversity, areas of focus, study abroad opportunities – and the list goes on.

While best college lists are often topped with the same handful of expensive Ivy League schools, the U.S. is home to more than 4,000 degree-granting schools spread out across 50 states and several territories, with amazing education offerings for students to consider.

Stacker compiled a list of the best four-year colleges in Indiana using rankings from Niche.

Tuition, student-to-faculty ratio, acceptance rate, and graduation rate are factors considered in deciding these rankings.

Location is also often a key factor in a school’s appeal, whether it be a beachside location, one full of New England foliage, or proximity to tech hubs and companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google.

Online and unspecified location schools were excluded from the rankings.
