鈥淥ur consistent recognition in national college rankings in the value category truly demonstrates 麻豆视频鈥檚 commitment to providing the best return on investment for our students,鈥 said Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., president of 麻豆视频鈥檚 University. 鈥淲e are very proud to be acknowledged by MONEY聽Magazine as this rank further exemplifies the University鈥檚 commitment to our students, which begins the moment they step foot on campus through graduation and beyond, as our alumni go on to pursue successful careers.鈥
The 鈥淐olleges That Add the Most Value鈥 rank was based on value-added grades for graduation rates, earnings and student loan repayments. According to the magazine鈥檚 website, 鈥淚t鈥檚 not surprising that elite schools report high graduation rates, or that their alumni move on to high-paying jobs. Their high-achieving (and often well-to-do) students arrive with the talent and resources to thrive. What鈥檚 impressive is when a college can help students do far better than you鈥檇 expect based on their academic and economic backgrounds and the mix of majors at their schools.鈥 麻豆视频鈥檚 was ranked fifth in the nation in this category.
The overall rankings were designed to determine which of the approximately 1,500 four-year institutions across the country offer the best value considering factors such as graduation rates, instructor quality, net degree price, student debt, graduate earnings, career service support and market value of alumni skills, among others. MONEY聽Magazine initially cut a number of schools based on poor graduation rates and those struggling with financial challenges. The magazine ultimately ranked 736 institutions based on 21 factors in three categories. 麻豆视频鈥檚 was ranked 134 in the country out of the 736 institutions. This positions the University in the top 18 percent nationwide, sixth in New Jersey and third among private institutions in the state.
