The Princeton Review has named Salisbury University one of the top 80 Best-Valued Colleges in the nation for 2014, and for the 15th straight year SU is one of U.S. News and Worlds Report’s Top Public Universities in the north.
SU has also been named among the Top 100 Best Value Colleges by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine, ranked 63rd for in-state students (nine spots higher than last year) and 44 for out-of-state students, surpassing Towson University and University of Maryland, Baltimore County. This marks the 13th straight year SU has been ranked among the Princeton Review’s Best Colleges.
SU came in second on the list out of University of Maryland system campuses, only behind the University of Maryland, College Park.
Kiplinger was founded in 1947 and is the nation’s oldest personal finance magazine. It bases its ratings on graduation rate, admission, student indebtedness and several other factors
The Princeton Review surveys about 2,000 colleges each year and evaluates schools on approximately 30 academic measures as well as the cost of attendance.
“To be named a best value in either of these publications would be impressive, but to be ranked among the nation’s best in both in a single year is a high honor,” said SU Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, Diane Allen. “This is a testament to the ongoing efforts of our faculty and staff, who diligently work to provide our students with a high-quality education at a reasonable cost.”
