University Ranked Among ‘America’s Best Colleges’ for 27th Straight Year
Bruin Notes
ӽ紫ý again received third-party affirmation in annual rankings released by U.S. News & World Report and Washington Monthly.
For the 27th straight year, the university was ranked as one of “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S. News, this year earning a spot in the publication’s “Best Regional Universities – West” category. ӽ紫ý ranked 28th in its classification, consisting of universities that provide a full range of undergraduate and master’s-level programs, but relatively few doctoral programs.
Washington Monthly, meanwhile, recognized ӽ紫ý as a “Best Bang for the Buck” institution, with ranking criteria based on three factors: “net” (not sticker) price, how well schools graduate the students they admit, and whether those students go on to earn at least enough to pay off their loans. ӽ紫ý was ranked No. 103 in the West category and No. 192 nationwide.
