Why it matters:

Students and parents look for schools that set undergraduates up for success after graduation — not just prestige on the way in — and Forbes’ ranking focuses on positive outcomes. Their methodology includes alumni salary (20%), student debt (15%), graduation rate (15%), return on investment (15%) and student retention (10%) among other factors.

学生和家长寻找的是那些为本科生毕业后的成功做好准备的学校——而不仅仅是入学时的声望——而《福布斯》的排名关注的是积极的结果。他们的方法包括校友工资（20%）、学生债务（15%）、毕业率（15%）、投资回报率（15%）和学生保留率（10%）等因素。

Forbes findings reflect what fresh UC data show: A UC degree pays off with higher earnings that grow over time, and UC graduates enter the workforce with greater financial flexibility due to no or low debt.

福布斯的调查结果反映了加州大学最新数据所显示的：加州大学学位带来的收入随着时间的推移而增长，加州大学毕业生进入劳动力市场时，由于没有或低债务，财务灵活性更大。

Right out of the gate, UC bachelor’s degree-holders in California earn more than those who only complete high school. They also out-earn the median earnings for bachelor’s degree-holders in the state. UC alumni continue to out-earn those groups year over year, by bigger and bigger margins.

刚出校门，加州大学的学士学位持有者比那些只完成高中学业的人挣得多。他们的收入也超过了该州学士学位持有者的收入中位数。加州大学校友的收入一年比一年高，而且差距越来越大。
