CI recognized in 'Best Bang for the Buck' by Washington Monthly
|
|
CSU Channel Islands (CI) has earned recognition as one of the top universities nationwide for its "Best Bang for the Buck" in Washington Monthly's 2014 College Rankings. The annual rankings highlight public-minded universities who are providing students the best value for their money.
In addition to weighing the economic value students receive per dollar, the study rates schools based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and Ph.D.s), and service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).
CI earned a ranking of 19th among all master's-granting universities for its value and public benefit.
"Unlike U.S. News and World Report and similar guides, this one asks not what colleges can do for you, but what colleges are doing for the country," the Washington Monthly report states. "Instead of crediting colleges that reject the most applicants, we recognize those that do the best job of enrolling and graduating low-income students. Our rankings measure both pure research spending and success in preparing undergraduates to earn Ph.D.s. And by giving equal weight to public service, we identify colleges that build a sense of obligation to their communities and the nation at large." Read more
