（新唐人记者唐美华报导）2016年美国最具价值大学排行榜全新出炉。加州伯克利大学（University of California, Berkeley, CA）脱颖而出，荣登榜首。该排名是以学费、学校质量、毕业成功程度及毕业后的薪酬作为评判标准的。

福布斯3月29日公布了2016年美国「最值得投资」大学排行榜，加州伯克利大学（University of California, Berkeley, CA）居首位，而杨百翰大学（Brigham Young University, UT）排名第2位。

最具价值大学排行榜包括国家级综合大学和文理学院、地区级综合性大学和地区性文理学院4个分类排名。这些大学都来自2016美国最佳大学排名，只有在最佳大学排名前50%的院校才会出现在这份榜单中。

这次排名有5个美国军校却不在其中，包括：西点、海军学院、海洋警卫队学院、美国商船学院以及美国空军学校，也不包含专业学校，如：巴布森学院（Babson College）、萨瓦纳艺术设计学院。

这次排名根据5个常规因素衡定。因素及其权重如下：学校质量（35%权重）、退学风险（15%）、毕业时间（15%）、毕业后的薪酬（25%）、学校自身附加值（10%）。

学校质量：一所学校在这项因素上的得分，是根据福布斯2015美国大学排行榜作为依据。

退学风险：该因素的评估依据为各学校6年内无法毕业的学生比率，其数据来源于美国教育部数据库。

毕业时间：考查学生毕业所需要的平均时间（仅针对那些6年内能够毕业的学生），其数据来源于美国教育部数据库。

毕业后的薪酬：考查毕业生在职业中期（至少工作10年）的薪水，数据来源于PayScale数据库以及美国教育部数据库。

学校自身附加值：该因素得分以另外一份榜单为依据，而这份榜单是在排除学校自身主观控制排名的因素（如教师工资）之后，再对学校进行排名评估的。

在美国，教育投资可不是一笔小数目，那么准备申请美国留学的学生，可以按照以上标准评比出的最具价值美国大学排名来选校。
