Culver-Stockton College Ranked #5
2014 Best Value Schools in Midwest-U.S. News & World Report
|
U.S. News and World Report has awarded Culver-Stockton College a fifth place rank on the 2014 Best Value Schools list, in the Midwest Regional Colleges category. This ranking is based on the College's overall rank by USNWR, as well as the 2012-2013 net cost of attendance for a student who receives the average level of need-based financial aid. USNWR ranked Culver-Stockton as the 34th Best Regional College in the Midwest in September 2013. Only 15 colleges in the Midwest were ranked in the Best Value report. 
"The student experience is our number one focus at Culver-Stockton, and the cost of attendance is a major factor in this," said Richard Valentine, president of Culver-Stockton. "Many of the efforts of the administration, like our focus on raising money for the Annual Fund for Student Scholarships, are geared toward helping students cover the cost of education."
