Salisbury, MD — Washington Monthly magazine again has named Salisbury University among the top master’s-level institutions of higher education in the U.S.
In addition, for the 13th consecutive year, the publication has named Salisbury University one of its “Best Bang for the Buck Colleges” in the Northeast.
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 among the top 70 in the U.S. among all master’s-level universities, and in the top 120 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.
“Salisbury University’s Centennial year is the perfect moment to reflect on what has long set us apart: a commitment to access, opportunity, and affordability,” said SU President Carolyn Ringer Lepre. “We’ve achieved this in part by keeping the cost of attendance at a level that ensures students have access to a quality SU education. Here, they not only earn a valuable degree but are also positioned to launch meaningful careers and lives of impact.”
