Washington Monthly Ranks Nazareth 9th Nationally in College Rankings
Nazareth College is ranked 9th on a list of the Best Master’s Universities by the 2015 Washington Monthly College Rankings. In addition, the College is ranked in second place in service staff, courses, and financial aid support as well as second under community service participation and hours served.
Nazareth also made the list of Washington Monthly’s “Best Bang for the Buck” in the Master’s Universities category at 65. The list includes schools that do the best job helping students of modest means earn marketable degrees at affordable prices, thus providing the best value to students and families. This ranking is not based solely on net price; instead the list looks at the number of students receiving Pell grants, and graduation and loan default rates.
Washington Monthly’s new college rankings measure institutions based on three criteria: civic engagement (encouraging students to give something back to their country), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs), and social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students).
