A Note From Our Publisher
One of our most fundamental American liberties is the freedom to shape our own lives, and there's no more fundamental pathway than education. When motivated students (of any age) work with experienced educators, they see increased earning power and greater direction in life. And it's not just individuals who gain from education—our society, and indeed our democracy, benefit, too.
That's why Mother Jones publishes our annual college roundup featuring schools that offer great values at a great value. It's also why we're very pleased to present this guide to Mother Jones' education sponsors-innovative institutions whose distinctive programs transform both individuals and our larger society. Whether you're looking for yourself, for your children, or just out of curiosity, I encourage you to read a little about each of them in this special section.
