The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame do much more than fight, it seems. They study quite hard as well, pushing the University of Notre Dame up to 18th in this ranking of the smartest colleges in the country. The average Notre Dame grad can expect to make over $60,000 right out of the gates, making Notre Dame one of the most respected universities by employers.

17. Vanderbilt University
​
Number 17 in our rankings takes us to the Music City, none other than Nashville, Tennessee. The Vanderbilt Commodores are among the smartest schools in the country, giving them something to brag about over their fellow SEC schools. Bama can have their football as long as Vanderbilt's academics blow the other SEC schools out of the water, right? At an 11% acceptance rate and a $58,000 average starting salary, Vanderbilt is among the most selective, yet most rewarding universities in America.

16. Rice University
Rice University is a private research university that makes it home in Houston, Texas. The high quality of student education can be attributed to one important factor: student to faculty ratio. With a 5:1 ratio, it is one of the lowest in all of America, proving Rice’s emphasis on student learning above anything else. It seems to work, as 101 Fulbright Scholars, 11 Truman Scholars, 24 Marshall Scholars and 12 Rhodes Scholars have come out of the university.
