UNDATED (AP) - Princeton tops the latest U.S. News & World Report college rankings. It's the eighth straight year the New Jersey school has either tied or held the top slot outright.
Just like last year, Princeton was followed by Harvard and Yale in the rankings.
Johns Hopkins ranked 14th and the University of Maryland-College Park was 54th.
Williams and Amherst are the highest-ranked liberal arts colleges. The Naval Academy was tied for 20th on that list, St. Mary's College of Maryland was 87th, Goucher College was 91st and Washington College was 97th.
George Washington Ranked 54th.
St. Johns College in Annapolis is one of dozens of liberal arts schools opting out of the magazine's college ranking system over objections to its peer assessment surveys.
The formula for the rankings includes variables such as graduation and retention rates, faculty and financial resources, and the percentage of alumni donating money to their alma mater.
