'Washington Monthly' Again Names SU Among 'Best Bang for the Buck Colleges'

SALISBURY, MD---For the eighth consecutive year, Washington Monthly magazine has named Salisbury University one of its “Best Bang for the Buck Colleges.”

The best value list spotlights schools that “help non-wealthy students attain marketable degrees at affordable prices.” The overall rankings celebrate institutions’ “contributions to the public good.”

SU was ranked at No. 68 overall among master’s-level universities nationwide, and No. 102 for value among all universities in the Northeast.

To be included, colleges had to meet criteria related to social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research and providing opportunities for public service. Net price of attendance also was a factor.

Washington Monthly is not the only publication to laud SU’s quality and value. The University also recently has been ranked among the “Best Colleges in the U.S.” by U.S. News & World Report, The Best 386 Colleges in the nation by Princeton Review and “America’s Best Colleges” and by Money magazine.
