Jersey City, N.J.<\/strong> \u2013 July 15, 2015 \u2013<\/strong> Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University is proud to announce that it has been named to\u00a0MONEY\u00ae Magazine\u2019s list of best colleges in the United States for 2015-2016. Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s was ranked fifth nationwide in the category of \u201cColleges That Add the Most Value.\u201d According to the magazine, the top value-added colleges are those \u201cthat best help students exceed expectations.\u201d The University was also ranked in the top 18 percent of all American colleges for educational quality, affordability and alumni outcomes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur consistent recognition in national college rankings in the value category truly demonstrates Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s commitment to providing the best return on investment for our students,\u201d said Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., president of Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s University. \u201cWe are very proud to be acknowledged by MONEY\u00a0Magazine as this rank further exemplifies the University\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cColleges That Add the Most Value\u201d rank was based on value-added grades for graduation rates, earnings and student loan repayments. According to the magazine\u2019s website, \u201cIt\u2019s 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\u2019s impressive is when a college can help students do far better than you\u2019d expect based on their academic and economic backgrounds and the mix of majors at their schools.\u201d Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s was ranked fifth in the nation in this category.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0Magazine 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. Â鶹ÊÓƵ\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
