¾¨Ó㴫ý has again been named to Money magazine’s “Best Colleges for Your Money” listing based on quality of education, affordability and alumni financial success, confirming that ¾¨Ó㴫ý continues to be one of the best value colleges in higher education.
The 2020 rankings, released Aug. 25, gave greater weight to affordability factors due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s economic impact. This spring, ¾¨Ó㴫ý raised more than $1.8 million through its Bring Back the Titans fundraising campaign, an initiative designed to ensure students would be able to continue their educations at ¾¨Ó㴫ý despite financial hardship created by the economic downturn.
“We are delighted that ¾¨Ó㴫ý is again recognized for value based on quality, affordability and post-graduation outcomes,” ¾¨Ó㴫ý Vice President for Enrollment Management Dr. Karen H. Schedin said. “The commitment of the College to educational excellence and student success positions our graduates for a competitive job market. Often, our students access an exceptional private college experience at a similar net cost of public institutions.”
Money editors considered 27 factors when selecting colleges and universities for the rankings, centered around three measures: quality of education, affordability during college and student debt payoff rates after graduation, and alumni outcomes—all of which are critical conditions students evaluate before selecting a college.
To make the list, a university or college must have at least 500 students, sufficient data to analyze, not be in financial distress and have a graduation rate at least at the median for its institutional category.
